Identification of Acceptable Vehicle Charge Stations
First Claim
1. A vehicle comprising:
- a processor programmed to, in response to a request to identify route-accessible charge locations;
load a third party user rating, anddisplay, in response to receipt of data from a remote server identifying charge stations, a charge location rating for identified charge stations accessible from the route exceeding a desired safety rating and a desired user rating based on the third party user rating and the received data from the remote server.

Abstract
A vehicle may require an electric recharge. A request may be sent to obtain identification of charge locations along a route. Along with the request, data may be sent identifying vehicle location, route, and desired safety rating. A response may be obtained from a remote server, and the results may be displayed, which include the user rating of the charge station. The desired user rating may be adjusted based on the battery'"'"'s state of charge (SOC). The desired user rating may be decreased as the battery state of charge decreases. The user may further set the desired user rating. The desired user rating may further depend on other ratings of the charging station.

9. An electric vehicle comprising:
-
a processor programmed to, in response to a request to identify charge locations along a predefined route, send data off-vehicle identifying vehicle location and the route, and defining a desired user rating based on an identified third party rating and a desired safety rating, and in response to receipt of data from a remote server identifying charge stations each having a user rating that exceeds the desired user rating and a safety rating that exceeds the desired safety rating, display indicators for the identified charge stations accessible from the route; and wherein the processor is further programmed to send data off-vehicle identifying a desired utility rating from the third party and a desired activity rating from the third party, and in response to receipt of data from a remote server identifying charge stations each having an activity rating that exceeds the desired activity rating and a utility rating that exceeds the desired utility rating, display indicators for the identified charge stations having a utility rating that exceeds the desired utility rating and an activity rating that exceeds the desired activity rating accessible from the route. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 14, 15)

12. A vehicle comprising,
a processor programmed to, in response to a request to identify charge locations along a predefined route, send data off-vehicle identifying vehicle location and the route, and defining a desired user rating based on an identified third party rating and a desired safety rating, and in response to receipt of data from a remote server identifying charge stations each having a user rating that exceeds the desired user rating and a safety rating that exceeds the desired safety rating, display indicators for the identified charge stations accessible from the route; - and
wherein the processor is further programmed to send data off-vehicle identifying a desired safety rating and a desired user rating based at least in part on identification of a current user of the vehicle and the third party rating, and in response to receipt of data from a remote server identifying charge stations each having a safety rating that exceeds the desired safety rating and a user rating that exceeds the desired user rating, display indicators for the identified charge stations having a safety rating that exceeds the desired safety rating and a user rating that exceeds the desired user rating accessible from the route.

16. A method for controlling an autonomous vehicle comprising:
-
sending data off-vehicle identifying vehicle location and route, and a vehicle user, wherein the sent data includes a desired activity rating and a desired safety rating associated with the vehicle user; receiving rating data from a remote server identifying charge stations accessible from the route and, for each of the charge stations, a weighted user rating including a trusted third party rating associated with the vehicle user; adjusting the desired user rating based on a battery state of charge and identity of the vehicle user; and directing the vehicle to one of the charge stations accessible from the route having a user rating exceeding the desired user rating, which was adjusted, a safety rating that exceeds the desired safety rating, and an activity rating that exceeds the desired activity rating. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A vehicle comprising:
a processor programmed to; send data off-vehicle identifying desired activity and safety ratings; in response to receipt of data from a remote server, identifying charge-stations having safety and activity ratings exceeding the desired safety and activity ratings, and a user rating that exceeds a desired user rating; display route-accessible, identified charge-stations indicators having the safety, activity and user ratings that exceed the desired safety and activity ratings and the desired user rating.
