Tesla keeps opening up its charging network, and this time the move touches a service used by billions. Google Maps now features full integration with the Supercharger network: drivers can see, in real time, how many stalls are free, the station’s power output, and the total number of connectors.

Previously, such details lived only inside Tesla’s own app or in-car menus. For owners of other EV brands, that’s a meaningful upgrade: trip planning on highways or finding the nearest high-speed charger now happens right in Google Maps, without juggling multiple apps.

The new view applies to Superchargers only. Tesla Destination Chargers still show basics—power and the number of points—without occupancy data. Even so, since Superchargers deliver the quickest sessions, bringing this live info into Google Maps tangibly lifts the day-to-day experience.

For the charging ecosystem, it’s another marker of maturity: universality, transparency, and simple usability are steadily becoming the baseline.
