Google Maps shows EV charging spots along the route

I don't know if anyone has noticed.

In Google maps, we could search for an EV Charger around our location by using the sentence "EV charging stations".

Now in the route planner, we can search along with the route as shown below.

Moved the post to an independent thread as many may not be aware of this feature. Thank you askash_v12 for the heads-up!

BHPians - if you should spot any substantial post in an existing thread that deserves its own new thread, please report the post and we'll move it out for greater visibility.

Thank you!

Most locations shown on Google are not reliable. Often it is either a charging station for 2 wheelers or some factory and many are not even operational. Much better to manually plan by using apps like Plugshare.
