Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning drivers who love using Google Maps through Android Auto will soon enjoy more sophisticated routing capability to help with the charging needs of an electric vehicle (EV), especially on road trips. This includes the battery on arrival estimate, suggested charging stops, and minimum recommended charge times at each stop.

The feature works when a user connects their smart phone and activates Android Auto in the vehicle and uses Google Maps for navigation.

EV routing for Android Auto coming to Mach-E and F-150 Lightning via OTA software update later this year. Great to partner with Google to make navigation even better for Ford customers using Android Auto and Google Maps. More info here: https://t.co/1mOO2dRVrV https://t.co/mfqZW6wWbA
