Waze, one of the largest and most popular traffic and directions services, has recently launched a UK version of its wildly successful EV charging feature.
All UK drivers can now enter their electric cars and plug types to find relevant charging stations along their journey.
This update will allow EV drivers to seamlessly find the closest and most relevant chargers to make their travels as easy as possible.
Thanks to its volunteer community of Map Editors, all EV data will be continually reviewed and kept up-to-date in real time.
Users can find the new information in their app by going to the settings, tapping vehicle details and selecting the "Electric vehicles" option.

Motorists will then be able to turn on "EV features", showing them specific information relating to their vehicle and charging plugs.
Motorists can select from a range of the most popular chargers including Type 1 and 2, CHAdeMO, Tesla Supercharger and CCS rapid charger.
Once their details have been selected, drivers will be able to see available charging stations on their map, including which ones support the suitable charging plug and even the availability of the connectors.
At the end of May this year, there were 43,626 electric vehicle charging points across the UK, with more than 25,000 different locations.
This represents a 38 percent increase in the total number of charging devices since May 2022, according to Zapmap data.
Speaking previously to Express.co.uk, Ru Roberts, UK country manager at Waze, said: "At Waze, we're committed to helping improve drivers' journeys.
"Transitioning to using an electric vehicle comes with its challenges, but knowing where the next charging point is with your plug type can help your trip in real-time and when planning a longer journey.
"By offering the information in one place, Waze helps to give drivers the tools they need to plan their journeys with confidence."
The Waze app is supported by its map editor community, with volunteers around the world committing themselves to keep the maps up-to-date.
The community leaders - or "champs" - are continually working on the Waze for Cities campaign to ensure the data is correct.
Waze, which has more than 140 million active users, had already rolled out the feature in a number of European countries and the Americas.
With the Government and the private sector pushing for a rapid increase in the rollout of new electric vehicle chargers, Waze is committed to having available data for all EV motorists.
