The Indian automotive space has seen a high surge in electric vehicles in the past few years. Also, the major automotive makers are quite keen on diversifying their portfolio in EV offerings in the country. However, there is a small problem that every EV owner faces, i.e., range anxiety. While there has been a lot of infrastructural development with the setting up of multiple EV charging stations, the number is still less, depending on the number of EVs on the road.

We recently came across a YouTube video shared by AkkiNagpal on his official channel. In the video, he shows how EV owners can customise Google Maps and get access to learn about the EV charging points on their route of travel.

After clicking on the 'Your Vehicle' option, users will get options like- Petrol, Diesel, Hybrid, and Electric. The EV users need to select the ' Electric' option.
