Toyota Enables Apple Maps EV Routing on 2023 and Newer BEVs in U.S.

The update lets Apple Maps use Toyota BEVs' live battery data to route trips with charging built in.

Overview

  • Toyota says the feature is available on U.S. battery-electric models equipped with Toyota Audio Multimedia, including the new 2026 bZ.
  • Apple Maps factors in state of charge, elevation and other conditions to estimate range and automatically suggest compatible charging stops.
  • The integration runs inside CarPlay, allowing Toyota drivers to plan and manage charging without leaving the CarPlay interface.
  • Before this rollout, Apple Maps EV routing worked only with the Ford Mustang Mach‑E, F‑150 Lightning and Porsche Taycan.
  • Toyota also announced Tesla Supercharger access and Plug & Charge for the 2026 bZ, signaling broader gains in charging interoperability.
