Electrify America is now posting live updates about its DC fast chargers on Google Maps. EV drivers can use the navigation app to find available chargers. This way, owners don't have to jump from one app to another when planning a trip. Electrify America, one of the largest operators of electric vehicle fast chargers in the United States, is now offering real-time charger availability updates on Google Maps.

Our first test, at a 350-kilowatt station with plenty of power to meet the Charger Daytona's 210-kW rating, started off fine. Video chief Mike Roselli arrived with a 15% state of charge. At 40%, the session was cruising along at around 150 kW. Suddenly, the charge rate plummeted to 2 kW, before rising back up to 150. At around 50% battery, the power output fell to a measly 73 kW, trending downward as it reached 80%.
