Over the past few updates to Android Auto, Google has been quietly building out new features tied to EVs. This includes the ability to manually identify your car as an electric vehicle and toggle on EV features within Google Maps on Android Auto. This all appears within Android Auto’s built-in settings menu under a new section titled “EV Settings.”

I love my manual transmission and physical head unit controls but the one thing I wish I had is Comma AI Open Pilot support!
Nothing can move me from manual transmission and a good old petrol powered engine. I like EV motorcycles and mopeds. I’m a bit meh on the cars though. Unless they’re RIMAC, or some such sort of EV. (That new Hyundai EV sports car looks amazing!)
I went from exclusively manual transmission to an EV.
I do miss shifting gears sometimes. It was so fun.
But I love the immediate response of an EV. It’s what I always loved about manuals, but with an EV it’s even more so. You put your foot on the accelerator and you go immediately - even more immediate and with more power than a manual.
I was going to mention this. I do ride personal electric vehicles like an electric unicycle and the immediate response is quite addictive. I’ll make the switch over eventually, but something I also really like about my turbocharged 86 is its light weight and overall steering feel.
Yeah I don’t blame you. I had a WRX before the Tesla and man that was fun.
But I also have fun in the Tesla. I haven’t really sent it around a corner like I did with the WRX though yet.
