Filtering Chargers in Apple Maps

[carys98]

I’m using the new Apple Maps integration for the first time this week and I can’t find a way to filter charge stations. I want to just see DC fast chargers but it shows all level 2 chargers too. When I look at the settings it has both J1772 and CCS listed and you can’t change it. I’m trying to navigate to a DC charger 30 miles away and it never shows up on the list because there are so many L2s nearby. Has anyone figured out how to filter?

Sorry I can't answer your question, but I have one for you.
What Ford software level do you have to be on to get the Apple maps EV integration?
Thanks

My latest was 6.4. I think it was in that one. If you don’t have it I’m not sure you’re missing anything. I tried to use it on a trip today and it does some weird things with routing. I picked a destination and it showed a preferred route and a couple of options. I chose the preferred route and it still tried to take me on one of the alternates. Once I got close to home it tried to take me on some ridiculous routes to get to my house. If I wasn’t familiar with the area I’d probably still be wandering around the back roads. Apple Maps has improved but it’s still got a long way to go.

You have to use your phone as I haven't found a way to filter from the truck:

Search for the term "Charging Station" and you'll see a list of all charging stations nearby, you can then filter them by "Fast Charge" or "Slow Charge" and network

In its current state it really doesn't save you any more time then just clicking Directions from Plugshare, whose data I trust more anyway. No idea where Apple gets their data or how they determine what is "slow" or "fast".

Currently Apple maps is only really better at routing you to a destination and being pretty dang accurate at what percentage you can get there over Ford mapping. Ford mapping is better at showing you charging location data. Looks like when Google maps finally comes into play it may trump them all, but that remains to be seen.

How do you filter out locations that are no open yet? My Apple Maps navigated me past an open charger to a new Ultium E (by EVGo) that has not been turned on yet. One Issue I have with Ford is it does not add new stations quickly, meaning it seems to be 3-6months after opening until it shows in the Truck. But, apparently Apple jumps the gun. Would love to also filter by a reliability score as it navigated me to a backed up charger with 2 working chargers at EA and 4 offline. Arrived with 3 cars in front of me waiting for 1 plug as someone in a rental was charging to 100% on the other working charger.

edited to correct spelling issue.
