To mark Earth Day, Google has announced a new feature update in Google Maps to make it easier to access information on the availability of EV charging stations.

The tech giant is set to introduce nearby charge stations on the in-car map system for live-time information while you are on the move. This will include port availability and charging speed. The new feature will be rolled out worldwide over the next few months, with vehicles enjoying built-in Google services set to benefit first.

Earth Day is a worldwide event on 22 April to show support and awareness for environmental protection. For 2024, Earth Day is renewing its commitment to end plastics for the sake of human and planetary health, demanding a 60% reduction in the production of all plastics by 2040.
