Multifactor Charge Management for Electric Vehicles

System and method for efficient charge management of an electric vehicle. Historical usage data of the electric vehicle is used to forecast usage patterns and to determine optimal charging schedules according to the forecasted usage patterns and considering factors like charging costs and charging-port availability at forecasted destinations. The optimal charging schedules can be dynamically adjusted based on real-time conditions or user-preferences. In addition to reducing total charging costs, the optimal charging schedules can reduce electrical-power grid load and increase battery lifespan.
