No EV routing in Google maps

[Mal106]

Ok then, after some poking around I can confirm, I think, that I do not have EV routing but I do have karaoke. I can add stops but nothing comes up automatically within a route, no percentages until next charge stop etc...

My situation exactly; '25 Lightning Flash

So what is everyone complaining about? Isn't karaoke much better than EV routing?

Everyone is complaining about no EV routing in Google maps.

Both Karaoke and EV routing both came in the 10.1.0 update so on '24 models both features are missing but for some odd reason it sounds like '25 models have Karaoke but not EV routing in Google maps. Ford makes these updates so easy to understand I dont know why you are confused /s

If you heard my singing, it would be obvious.

Found it! EV routing has been moved to the connected navigation app instead of android auto. Probably because they want to keep charging us to use their nav instead. Bastards, lol.

I can enter an address and add chargers to the filter list and it pops up with where they are, how much percentage etc....

EV routing has always been in the native ford connected navigation. This is a subscription service as well, so as soon as the trial period ends, so does connected nav unless you are willing to pay. Regular nav will still exist, just no updated maps, traffic or weather info.

Any updates as to when Ford is pushing out the fix on getting EV routing working with Google Maps??

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.

I disagree. It's very appropriate, which I think is obvious.

But since your desire is to be disgruntled, do you go into the other three dozen threads that get updated daily and lambast folks who go "off topic"? Because we all know that every thread on this (and any) forum strays. I'll expect to see you there policing them from now on. All of them.

No, and no.

Well, there's something else that needs to be fixed in this system then. The number of charge stations I've seen out of order both in person and in YouTube videos with these trucks seems to be a fairly significant percentage. How bad would it suck if you're desperately trying to get to that next charge station only to find when you make it there that you can't charge?

Oh, and for whatever it's worth, my 6/25 build does seem to show EV charging when I connect my S25 Ultra to it. I didn't make any settings changes, it just automatically shows EV charge routing if I plan a trip, and shows other info in my gauge cluster and on the infotainment screen to help as well.
