I think the difference now compared to the previous version of the feature is the use of AI.

Interesting. Must be AA-specific. I only get one option for a car on iOS.

Maybe the phone app's drop down list of connected vehicles is only present if you have a car that is logged into native Google maps. It shows up as a device on Google's device management pages.
Out of curiosity, I went into Google Maps settings on my phone and added my Gravity under "Your Vehicles". But now I'm not finding a way to add more vehicles. Instructions say to click the + but there's not a + on my page.

So iPhone users are SOL? Or perhaps coming
Why do so many members think the car they buy around 70 years old will be the last car they ever buy? Do you guys know something I don’t?
Sorry,

I also do not have a + to add more vehicles. My "Your Vehicles" page shows only our native Google Volvo and one added vehicle, our Gravity, with the only choices being to edit or delete that vehicle.Out of curiosity, I went into Google Maps settings on my phone and added my Gravity under "Your Vehicles".

I'll be buying vehicles well past any prudent cutoff date.

Wayne Schell bought his first ev (Lucid Air) in 2022 at the age of 86.Why do so many members think the car they buy around 70 years old will be the last car they ever buy? Do you guys know something I don’t?

Well I do hope I'm wrong, and I'm still able to drive (and be alive) at 90.Why do so many members think the car they buy around 70 years old will be the last car they ever buy? Do you guys know something I don’t?
Sorry,
But with both cars being nearly brand new EVs, and no daily commute, at least one should probably last 20 years. Although maybe I'm counting a little too much on Lucid staying in business (or for that matter, Porsche). In the dreadful event of Lucid not surviving and leaving us with stranded assets in a couple of years, all bets are off I suppose.
And who knows how much impact the coming era of robotaxis will have on us, especially at that age.

I couldn't get it to do any EV routing.
All the Google documentation says it should be working. But I went back into the Your Vehicles setting and see this at the bottom. Battery prediction not checked. WTH?
I changed the vehicle to my Porsche Macan and same result.
Everything says it should work on EVs that aren't fully integrated. You just have to enter the starting SOC manually. But it's not activating. ???

Well it showed up for a few seconds. The Battery Prediction check mark was there after I powered the phone off and went to edit the vehicle. Then I went to the car to test it and nothing. Checked the phone again and the checkmark was gone. Powered the phone off/on and still gone. I know I saw it during that one look. Arrrgh!

I do have a check mark for battery prediction, but I'm still not seeing a battery usage prediction for the Gravity. Only for our native-google "connected" Volvo.
Seems like Google has another step or two of development left on this one.
I uninstalled Google Maps updates on my phone and then reupdated. Now the check mark is there. But like you, still no battery prediction in the car.
Mine isn't checked whether I select my Air or a Gravity. Even after deleting the updates, clearing the storage and re-updating and starting clean.
Buggy. And it doesn't seem to matter what car model. I tried a bunch and it did the same on all of them. Even the Fords that have integrated SOC.
Fortunately it's a Google issue, who's usually good about fixing bugs and sending out timely updates.
Otherwise, Android Auto is working really well. And it's a welcome bypass around some of the other annoying Gravity annoyances (nav system, audio content, losing connectivity, etc).
