In partnership with Norauto, Waze will display the location of 13,000 electric charging stations in France until the end of August.
Limited autonomy, charging stations too rare and taken by storm. At present, the nightmare of electric car users is undoubtedly that of long journeys that are not necessarily planned to perfection. To help them ride with more freedom of mind, Waze recently unveiled a novelty being addressed directly to them.
By partnering with Norauto, the navigation application makes it possible to search for and find the charging stations on his route or near his position. Thus, recently, a new icon has appeared on the application. With her, 13,000 terminals have been listed throughout France. It’s about most popularof the approximately 60,000 in the country.
The idea is, of course, to simplify the charging of electric cars. This while their number is growing rapidly, unlike the number of terminals, which remains very (too?) moderate. Please note, however, that this new feature has an end date. In effect, by next August 28, it will disappear.
Charging stations on Waze, a start for electric cars?
Still, this experience is an interesting first step. It is hard to believe that such a novelty will not be renewed in the future. If at present, electric cars remain in the minority compared to electric ones, this should change in the more or less near future.
With this, navigation applications will also be forced to adapt. Gas stations may take up less space than charging stations. Also to be seen if the stations hydrogen refuelingthe development of which is being driven in particular by the European Union, could follow the same path.
We should also remember that the government was aiming 100,000 charging points in 2021, which was not achieved. TotalEnergies, for its part, has committed 200 million euros to equip more than 150 motorway stations with charging stations.
