1. An electric vehicle comprising:
- a battery configured to receive power from a charger;
a communication part configured to receive information from an external part; and
a controller configured to;
calculate a charging start time based on a navigation schedule for a departure of the electric vehicle and a residual lifetime of the battery when the battery is connected to the charger,change the charging start time of the battery on the basis of event information received from the communication part, andcharge the battery on the basis of the changed charging start time.

Abstract
An electric vehicle, a system, and a method for charging a battery of the electric vehicle are disclosed. The system and electric vehicle sufficiently charge a battery even under an unexpected situation, and when a reserved charging time of the electric vehicle is fixed. The system and the electric vehicle economically use electricity by changing a time needed for battery charging, and drive an air conditioner of the vehicle in preparation for a weather situation such as intense cold or intense heat, thereby increasing user convenience and safety of a vehicle driver who rides in the vehicle.
