Charging Stations App Button?

Post by iluvstlucia
I'd like a button in the app so I can report Charging Stations for electric cars. I'm starting to see them in some parking garages and other locations, and this info would surely be useful to some wazers.

Button should include a "level" function so I can tell folks which garage level the station is on. You electric car people, what else do you need to know?

I think it is a mistake to overlook this capability.

EV's are really taking off and as of now, people are using other MAP apps to find where the stations are and then trying to jump back to waze to get the best route to that charger. It is such a PITA doing this and because of it I find myself using the other app to guide me.

If people think it is useful for Gas stations, brushing if off for electric chargers is just dumb thinking.

I too think that would be a really good idea for Waze to increase it's appeal to users. I presume there is a higher coorelation of users that buy electric vehicles and would use an application like Waze.

This information is best suited for another app (think Foursquare for PoI, for example, or Gas Buddy for gas).

It appears Android has an app called ChargePoint that has this data already.
