The update is currently rolling out in beta with availability expected to expand soon.
Android Auto, Google’s app that allows you to interact with your phone apps on your car’s screen has recently been getting a lot of useful updates. The most recent one brings improved support for electric vehicles that use the NACS charging standard found at Tesla charging stations.
In July last year, Android Auto got a new setting that allowed Google Maps to tailor the experience of electric vehicles using specific types of chargers. The « Electric vehicle settings » menu that was introduced back then supported a variety of electric vehicle chargers, including J1772, CCS (Combo 1 and 2), Type 2, and CHAdeMO.
Tesla’s NACS standard wasn’t in the supported options of the setting back then.
