No EV routing in Google maps

[WEC]

So let's say you set up a trip. You've got, say, 5 charging stops to make. When you get to charge stop #3 the charger is out of order. Is there an option on the screen to say this charger is OOO so that it will automatically direct you to the next closest spot? Or better yet, it keeps a running database of chargers that are known to be working to avoid this?

Really not the appropriate thread for this question

A question about whether or not the Google EV routing can handle hiccups in said routing doesn't belong in a thread about EV routing in Google maps?

Um, ok.

Um the thread is about the Google Maps not performing EV routing (as in not connecting to the truck through Android Auto and integrating vehicle battery charge state status) on some models of F150 Lightning. So yeah, your question doesn't belong. If you had read the thread it would be quite obvious.

But since we're here, still no AA route planning for my '25 Flash despite another complaint to the dealer while they did the brake recall.

I end up doing a combination of ABRP and Google maps. I try to navigate using Google because it gives me traffic hazards and detours when needed. I even use pen and paper occasionally. Tesla mapping is weird. I always start out looking for chargers in the western part of Africa. Occasionally it will show no chargers where I'm actually at one. Also occasionally the Tesla charger will be close enough to another that I'll be at one that is Tesla only. In saying this Tesla is, by far, the most reliable and the cheapest. Also there have been several times where a session has gone to the Ford plug and charge after my thinking I had initiated the charge through the Tesla app.

Road tripping in an EV is surely not as convenient as in an ICE vehicle nor any cheaper but I'll never go back.
