Google is expanding its features for electric vehicle (EV) owners. Users can now search for EV-specific information, such as range and charging costs, directly from the Google search box. Additionally, Google has introduced three new tools to compare different EV models with gas-powered options to better understand the long-term costs and savings of charging versus gas.
These new search results include information about possible government incentives, such as the federal EV tax credit in the US. This way, individuals can easily see if the car they are interested in qualifies for any discounts. They will be able to view information about how far they can drive on a single charge and customise their routes based on elevation change and speed limits. EV owners get more battery range details when searching for specific models. The improved search results are currently live in the US and will be available in Europe later this year.
Google’s updated fuel cost calculator now allows users in 21 countries to compare per-mile costs of electric and gas-powered cars. The fuel-efficient routing feature, which utilises AI to suggest better routes, is now being extended to India and Indonesia.
Google is using its Knowledge Graph to obtain information about the car, and getting road load data from the EPA to capture factors such as rolling friction, aerodynamics, and mechanical friction.
Searching commute to become more sustainability
Google is working to improve its cycling routes in Google Maps for people who prefer to use non-car modes of transportation. In addition, Google is piloting a new feature in France that recommends public transit and walking routes along with driving routes if they are practical and comparable in time.
Project Green Light, which uses AI to optimise traffic lights, reducing pollution in cities by lowering carbon emissions, will soon be expanded to over a dozen cities, including Rio de Janeiro, Manchester, Jakarta, and Budapest.
Google is collaborating with American Airlines and Bill Gates‘ climate investment fund, Breakthrough Energy, to reduce the impact of flights on the climate by avoiding routes that create contrails. The European Organization for the Safety of Air Navigation (EUROCONTROL) has recently partnered with Google, too. Going forward, EUROCONTROL will use Google’s tools to advise pilots on how to better avoid creating contrails and reduce emissions.
Sustainability features for homes and urban planning
Search results will now provide more details about sustainable energy devices for people searching for household appliances. Search results include information about other sustainable options, their capabilities, energy efficiency, and government incentives. The data is provided by the Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR, energy.gov, and the International Energy Agency.
Google Earth is being updated to help cities include solar energy in their development plans. The new tool will make it easier for urban planners to determine the best building designs and solar options for urban areas, resulting in better allocation of resources. This will be particularly useful for building structures with large roofs. The “Cool roofs” tool will be available in 15 new cities soon.
Google brings Flood Hub forecast to the US
Google is expanding its Flood Hub tool to the US and Canada, covering 800 riverside locations and around 12 million people. The company has also introduced a map feature that displays wildfire boundaries in near real-time and is collaborating with the US Forest Service to update its fire spread model. Google is using machine learning to model more fire dynamics, enabling fire authorities to train firefighters, plan effective fuel treatments, and tackle large-scale fires more safely and efficiently. Additionally, Google is expanding its “tree canopy” tool to 2,000 more cities worldwide.
