Abstract
An electric vehicle charging recommendation method is disclosed. The method may include obtaining a vehicle information associated with a vehicle, a driver information, and a vehicle trip information. The vehicle information may include a current state of charge (SOC) of a vehicle battery. The method may further include determining a distance to be travelled by the vehicle from a vehicle current location based on the vehicle trip information. The method may further include determining an expected SOC required to travel the distance from the vehicle current location based on the vehicle information, the driver information and the vehicle trip information. The method may additionally include transmitting a recommendation notification to a user device to charge the vehicle battery when the expected SOC may be greater than the current SOC.
