The question would be whether other brands share their SOC with CarPlay to do so?

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.

yes, that is the feature they just implemented for NACS. it was already working for other networks in Ford EVs.

Current range would be a must to make it „EV routing“ — and I believe the data flow direction from car to iPhone is not yet fully supported for every model.
