The information may include a plurality of vehicle geolocations associated with the plurality of charging events. The method may further include generating a plurality of charging geolocation clusters from the plurality of vehicle geolocations. The method may additionally include determining a charging event occurrence frequency for each charging geolocation cluster. Further, the method may include classifying the charging geolocation clusters into a primary charging station location and routine charging station locations. Furthermore, the method may include defining a virtual polygon connecting the primary charging station location and the routine charging station locations, and transmitting the electric vehicle charging recommendation to a server based on the defined virtual polygon.
