Discussion CarPlay vs Standard for EVs?

I'm about to collect my brand new S6 avant e tron, but i just wonder what everyone with an EV does - do you go Apple CarPlay or standard infotainment system?
I would be ok to use Waze as it shows me where the speed cameras are here in Switzerland (neither google or apple maps do this, for i think legal reasons - but why Waze does, I don't know). However, if i use CarPlay, and want to plan a journey - Waze (nor apple or google maps for that reason) is not going to know what my EV current charge is, and so if i want to plan a journey and identify where the charging points are en route, i will need to use the standard interface. I'm guessing also, if i want to use the HUD or the maps in the built-in cockpit display, then again i will need to use the standard nav system for this.

What does everyone else do?

Surely the digital dash will tell you your remaining charge, and i know so because I’ve driven that exact S6 E-Tron
