Abstract
Systems and methods for selecting a charging entity based on occupancy status are provided. In one embodiment, a method includes determining a current geo-location and state of charge of a requesting vehicle and a plurality of charging entities that are within a remaining distance of the requesting vehicle. Occupancy statuses for one or more charging entities of the plurality of charging entities are determined based on a number charging vehicles and a charging parameter. The method includes estimating charging speeds for the one or more charging entities based on the occupancy statuses. A charging station map user interface that pin points the current geo-location of the requesting vehicle and the one or more charging entities is presented. The one or more charging entities are presented with labels. The method further includes reserving a charging station of a selected charging entity of the plurality of charging entities by selecting a label.
