Google Maps EV Routing for Android Auto Now Available for Mustang Mach-E!

Ford Motor Company · Oct 28, 2024

Hi Mustang Mach-E Owners!

Earlier this year, we shared that Google Maps EV Routing for Android Auto users would soon roll out to F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E vehicles. As some of you have already experienced in your vehicles, we’re excited to officially share that it’s here and continues to roll out!

This feature is rolling out now to the Mustang Mach-E via an over-the-air software update, enabled through 10.1.0, letting Mach-E drivers who love using Google Maps through Android Auto enjoy more enhanced routing capabilities right from their Ford electric SUV. Simply connect your smart phone to your vehicle, activate Android Auto, then use Google Maps for navigation – and you’re ready to go! Just be sure you have the latest version of Google Maps installed on your smartphone.

Thanks to this update, Google Maps will be able to share routing information like:

Battery on-arrival estimate for all route stops
Recommended charging stops
Minimum recommended charge
List of nearby amenities at charging stops

On top of that, we’re also delivering a few extra surprises with this update. Enroute pre-conditioning will be available when navigating to DC fast-chargers, and drivers will also be able to see available chargers and compatible Tesla Supercharger locations along their routes.

We can’t wait for you to experience this feature in your Mustang Mach-E! We love to hear from our owners, so let us know what you think and share your experiences with us on social.

Apple CarPlay soon ???

avdonr · Oct 28, 2024

@Ford Motor Company Any timeline on when 2021 owners will see these 10.0.0 GWM, 10.1.0 APIM and 10.1.1 TCU updates? We have been left in the dark with so much as a “coming soon” for months now regarding updates. Meanwhile all other model years have been getting all the latest updates (not even to mention BlueCruise 1.3!). As it stands, the update mentioned here is currently available in FDRS (and now going OTA) for all other model years except 2021s. Why?

At the very least, an explanation on what is causing delays/issues for 2021s specifically compared to other model years would go a long way in retaining owner trust.

If you are talking about EV routing on iOS, it‘s been available via Apple Maps since 2022 as long as you have one of the following SYNC versions (or newer):

21281_PRODUCT.244
22028_PRODUCT.358
22034_PRODUCT.364

You also need at least iOS 15.4.

Ford has confirmed that pre-conditioning works for all DC fast chargers, including Tesla Superchargers using this Google Maps Routing for AA users. No firm timeline on getting Tesla Superchargers in the Ford Nav unfortunately.

It works very well the only thing we don't currently have with Apple CarPlay is Battery Enroute pre-conditioning. Please add this feature and Apple users will be very happy!
BTW These features have been showcased during multiple Apple events over the past couple of years.

Ah ok yes, wasn’t sure if you meant pre-conditioning or the EV routing in general. Pre-conditioning would be great to add as well!

Soon? ?

I noticed an update to Google Maps on my phone this morning but did not think anything of it. I did not see this post until right now. An article on Electrek clued me in. I'll have to try this out over lunch.

I use Waze via Android Auto 99% of the time so I would not have noticed the update during normal driving. Cool stuff.

Exactly!

Another member had discovered these Android Auto Google Map enhancements a couple of weeks ago and I had the same updates that he reported to have had at the time. Yet the features weren't available for me, so I assumed it still required something on Ford's server side to be enabled.

This thread had me check again today on the way to the office.

Now we are getting somewhere!

Dang Ford, you act like you build EV? ?

CarPlay users:

Currently EV routing works with apple maps
WITH NO ENROUTE PRE-CONDITIONING

Will google maps pre-condition the battery for CarPlay users?

Or is this only for android auto?

Anybody know?

Only for Android Auto (while using Google Maps) and Ford's built in navigation at this time.

Doesn't show in the Chargers list, but does recognize the site as a charger when set as the destination in on-board Nav.

Looking forward to getting any of these recent updates.
