When you have an electric car, the main difficulty is finding a terminal to which you can connect the battery charger. However, it is much easier today than it was a few years ago. Indeed, the number of stations has increased dramatically throughout France the goal of 100,000 has even been reached at the beginning of the month. Has recharging finally become child’s play? Most likely, as more and more things are introduced to help EV drivers.

The eastern district of Saint-Rambert on the street@A7Traffic from July 18 will offer 2 electric charging stations for refrigerators. It is an economical, ecological and quiet alternative to noisy and polluting diesel generators. https://t.co/YF2YFVSF5Q

New feature

Recently, for example, it became possible to display charging stations directly in the Waze application. Very good news for electric car owners, which was announced in mid-March. The feature was already offered on a temporary basis last summer to make vacation travel easier for motorists. From now on, it seems that this one is indeed definitively established. In addition, this new feature is particularly easy to use, as we explain to you a little below. Because it works via geolocation and simply points to the terminals around you.

How to use it?

Using this function is very simple. Just run the Waze app and tap My Waze at the bottom of the screen. Then click on the gear at the top and in the “vehicle information” menu. Then you select the line “electric vehicles” and must activate “prioritize electric vehicle charging”. Then you select the sockets compatible with your car and you can start your journey. And this time you will see that the charging stations are displayed on the map.
