The Google Maps is leading the charge for greener travel by incorporating new features that benefit both drivers and the planet.
Alternative routes to save time and fuel:
Now, users can choose alternative routes beyond classic driving routes, taking into account factors such as traffic and road gradient. This means less time behind the wheel, reduced fuel consumption and, by extension, reduced emissions. This operation is starting in 15 cities worldwide, with the aim of further expansion in a short period of time.
Smart charging solutions for electric vehicles:
Recognizing the growing popularity of electric vehicles, the Google Maps offers specialized charging solutions. Using artificial intelligence, the app identifies and recommends suitable charging stations to electric vehicle drivers, taking into account factors such as charging speed, availability and user ratings. In addition, vehicles with the Google Maps app built in can inform drivers of nearby charging stations, while the website google.com/travel now offers a search filter for electric vehicles.
Extension to rail travel:
Enhancing his commitment to sustainable mobility, Google Search now offers the ability to search for train schedules and prices in 38 countries, including Greece. Opting for rail travel is an environmentally friendly alternative while offering comfort and speed to travelers.
In summary:
The new features of Google Maps are an important step in the direction of sustainable mobility. Promoting alternative routes, supporting electric vehicles and integrating rail options offer users flexible and environmentally friendly solutions for their daily commutes.
