Google is expanding its features for electric vehicle (EV) owners. Users can now search for EV-specific information, such as range and charging costs, directly from the Google search box. Additionally, Google has introduced three new tools to compare different EV models with gas-powered options to better understand the long-term costs and savings of charging versus gas.
These new search results include information about possible government incentives, such as the federal EV tax credit in the US. This way, individuals can easily see if the car they are interested in qualifies for any discounts. They will be able to view information about how far they can drive on a single charge and customise their routes based on elevation change and speed limits. EV owners get more battery range details when searching for specific models. The improved search results are currently live in the US and will be available in Europe later this year.
