Bizarre. Looks like a bug even though it isn’t.

Apple really needs to learn to design a decent looking camera bump. This ain’t it.

Nothing special is required if you’re just looking for somewhere to charge. Most third party charging apps will ask you in settings to either select your car model and/or preferred charging plugs.

Now if this CarPlay is some trip planning feature where it automatically fills in stops based on your current range and destination, I can see that requiring some sort of special communication with the car.

As a workaround, I’ve been telling maps to search for “DC fast” when I’m looking for a charger. It’s kludgy, but it seems to work.

Restricting EV routing to certain car brands is ridiculous.

I remember when it was Apple‘s policy not to pre-announce products or features that weren’t ready to ship. This is a good example of why.

Seems like a poor design decision. The portables can be charged from either MagSafe or USB-C. You would think this would use similar circuitry where one power input would be ignored while the other was connected.
