DETERMINING A ROUTE OF TRAVEL FOR AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving a request to determine a route to a destination;
determining a state of charge for an electric vehicle associated with the request;
generating a route of travel to the destination based on the determined state of charge; and
displaying the generated route via a mapping application associated with the electric vehicle.

Abstract
Systems and methods for identifying available charging stations (e.g., charging stations available to be used by an electric vehicle) and/or determining travel routes for electric vehicles are described. In some embodiments, the systems and methods receive a request to find an available charging station, determine a state of charge for an electric vehicle associated with the request, identifies one or more available charging stations located within a suitable distance to the electric vehicle, the suitable distance based on the determined state of the charge for the electric vehicle, and present information to the electric vehicle, or an associated mobile device, that indicates the identified charging stations.

13. A method, comprising:
-
receiving a request to determine a route to a destination; determining a state of charge for an electric vehicle associated with the request; determining a maximum energy usage for the electric vehicle that is associated with the determined state of charge for the electric vehicle; and generating a route to the destination having a predicted energy usage that is less than the determined maximum energy usage for the state of the charge of the electric vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
