Toyota Brings Apple Maps EV Routing to 2023 and Newer BEVs in CarPlay

Eligible U.S. models with Toyota Audio Multimedia can plan charging stops inside the CarPlay interface using real-time vehicle data.

Overview

  • Toyota confirmed support for Apple Maps EV routing across its U.S. battery-electric lineup from the 2023 model year onward, including the new 2026 bZ models.
  • The integration lets drivers create charging-aware routes without leaving the CarPlay experience.
  • Apple Maps factors in battery state, elevation changes, and driving conditions to suggest and time charging stops during a trip.
  • If the vehicle’s charge becomes too low, the system automatically directs the driver to a compatible charging station.
  • Availability depends on vehicles having Toyota Audio Multimedia, and owners of eligible BEVs can enable the feature within CarPlay.
