Pretty much every electric car has charging stops built-in to the navigation. For some the quality of the data isn’t as high, but it will be there.

Many like Polestars and Renaults are built on Android Automotive (different from Android Auto) and the built-in navigation is full Google Maps with direct access to the cars battery state and control systems.

Works perfectly on my Renault Megane E-Tech.

That's my expectation too.

This is a real issue. You might be stranded with low quality suggestions. Chargers that don't work. The large number of accounts you need to have as every charger has their own etcetera

In my non-Telsa, I get decent suggestions with live data built in to the car. I also get suggestions through multiple different apps of my choice through Android Auto.

In a Tesla, you get what Tesla gives you.

I haven't bothered with any accounts in years for third-party chargers. Most just plug in and negotiate payment automatically. Others have credit card readers on them.

I can charge at most of the major Tesla charging locations as well these days. Ironically, those require I hop on a proprietary app, so I often avoid them.
