A recent Google maps update will allow EV drivers to find the most efficient route wherever they want to go. The app would place a leaf icon next to a route that represents the most fuel-efficient way to travel. The software uses factors such as average fuel consumption in given regions, steepness and regularity of hills, stop-and-go traffic patterns, and types of roadways to find the most efficient path.
BIG change made to Google Maps for electric vehicle route planning
