Apple Maps to display parking spaces for EVs, suggests report

As per a report by MacRumors, the Cupertino based Apple has partnered with SpotHero, a parking platform, to help users find parking space at specific areas. This feature will help the users to find parking across Canada and the US. It will also let users book the parking space online on a monthly or hourly basis.

Additionally, the new feature from Apple Maps provides several filters to users in order to find the most convenient parking space near them. These filters are based on wheelchair accessibility, availability of charging for electric vehicles, parking spaces and more.

Users can use their MacBook or iPhone to access the feature. They can go to the Apple Maps app and search for a specific location to find the park facility.
