Abstract
An electric vehicle charging recommendation system is disclosed. The system comprises a transceiver and a processor. The transceiver is configured to receive a request from a user interface associated with a vehicle user. The request includes one or more of vehicle route information and vehicle State of Charge (SoC) level. The processor is configured to generate a geofence, and obtain real-time operator charging amounts from charging station operators located in the geofence. The processor is further configured to determine that a charging demand in the geofence is less than a predetermined threshold value, and activate a first mode when the charging demand is less than the predetermined threshold value. The processor is further configured to generate a first list of recommended charging stations based on the real-time operator charging amounts responsive to the activation of the first mode, and transmit the first list to the user interface.
