Restricting EV routing to certain car brands is ridiculous.
it’s not clear to me this is strictly limited to ford. apple added nav support for the tesla supercharger network (NACS) in maps. Ford was the first non-tesla brand with access to NACS but many others can use it now and more will in the future. Ford also released a PR statement about it but obviously they aren’t going to mention other car brands in it.
edit: as the other comment mentioned, this feature will only work with cars that share the car's SOC through CarPlay so apple can plan your route with chargers. This is a choice of the manufacturer to offer that support, not a limitation by apple.
The question would be whether other brands share their SOC with CarPlay to do so?
Not exactly a big upgrade.
I just wish they’d make it possible to use an iPad as a CarPlay screen. I mean you can do it with an android tablet but not an iPad mini?!?! wtf?
