JAKARTA Google Maps is now officially integrating live data from Tesla servers into its application. Through this update, users of electric vehicles (EVs) can now see real-time information such as the number of charging stations available and the total charging power at the nearest Tesla Supercharger location.

This collaboration between Google and Tesla allows drivers, both Tesla and non-Tesla users, to find out the availability of Superchargers before arriving at the location, so they can plan trips more efficiently and avoid queues at charging stations.

Starting today, when users open Google Maps and select the Tesla Supercharger location, they will see an indicator of availability (availability pills) on the location information tab. This tab displays real-time data such as:

Total number of charging ports,

The amount is being used and is still empty,

Types or charging speeds (for example 4/12 stalls are available 250 kW fast chargers).

This information is taken directly from Tesla servers and can be accessed by all Google Maps users on various platforms including Android, iOS, Android Auto, even on Tesla car screens that use Google Maps-based navigation systems.

Previously, Tesla users could only view Supercharger data through the Tesla app or their car navigation system. However, with direct integration into Google Maps, this information is now more accessible to all EV users, not limited to Tesla owners.

The move also aims to reduce the shock of congestion at charging stations, a common problem for electric vehicle drivers. Many users reported frustration when they arrived at the charging station and found all ports being used.

With this new feature, drivers can check the charging conditions early, select alternative routes, and plan long-distance travel more comfortably and efficiently.

Integration of Supercharger data to Google Maps is one of the biggest steps towards a more connected and transparent electric vehicle ecosystem, while strengthening Google's position as the most complete navigation platform for future mobility.
