Baidu Maps' new energy navigation function is newly upgraded on May 1: real-time dynamic reminders to solve the problem of "difficult charging" for car owners

It is the peak travel season for May Day again, and for owners of new energy vehicles, "range anxiety" has been aroused once again: they want to go on a self-driving tour but are always worried that the car's endurance is not enough, it is difficult to grasp the location of charging stations while driving, and charging stations are hard to find, which are really a headache.

To help solve the "difficult charging" problem, Baidu Maps recently upgraded its new energy navigation function. On the basis of helping users reasonably plan charging routes before traveling, it has added a dynamic charging information prompt function in the navigation. According to the user's vehicle endurance, route information, and charging preferences, it recommends real-time display of charging stations, voice broadcast of charging station information, and display of surrounding charging stations on the route, so as to achieve full coverage before and during travel, comprehensively improve the travel experience, and ensure that new energy vehicle owners have no "worries" on their self-driving journeys.

Dynamic charging information prompts during driving to flexibly respond to "urgent needs"

Baidu Maps has launched a charging information prompt function for new energy vehicle owners who encounter problems such as "insufficient battery life", "insufficient charging piles" and "incomplete charging information" during driving. In the process of using new energy navigation, Baidu Maps supports dynamic charging information prompts to help users find it at any time and solve "urgent needs".

Among them, according to the user's vehicle range and driving route, Baidu Maps can display recommended charging stations in real time in the navigation, and display the remaining free charging station information, as well as the recommended charging station information on the remaining route. Following the prompts, users can go to charge with one click.

In order to solve the problem of users having difficulty checking their phones while driving, Baidu Maps New Energy Navigation has also added a voice broadcast charging reminder service, which reminds users of the information of charging stations along the way in the form of voice broadcasts based on their driving routes. For example, when a service area has a charging station, it will prompt "this service area has charging services"; when the charging station is near a passing point or the end point, it will intelligently prompt the number of currently idle charging piles at the charging station. In a more personalized and intelligent interactive form, it provides car owners with a more efficient, convenient and safe navigation experience.

At the same time, in order to maximize the needs of car owners, Baidu Map's new energy navigation function can also display the location of charging stations along the route in real time during driving, and supports one-click full view, helping users eliminate "mileage anxiety" and travel easily.

One-click planning of charging routes for easy travel

At the beginning of this year, Baidu Maps officially launched the new energy navigation function, which comprehensively considers the user's battery life, route information, charging preferences, weather, roads and other factors, and through functions such as charging nearby, charging along the way and charging at the destination, it intelligently plans "time-saving", "power-saving" and "high-charging efficiency" driving routes for users before traveling. While providing charging decisions, it also makes travel planning more accurate for new energy vehicle owners.

In addition to the new upgraded functions, Baidu Maps has launched a new energy electric vehicle ranking event this May Day.
