TRUE ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING PRICE EVALUTION AND OPTIMIZATION

A vehicle determines a current state of charge of the vehicle and a current battery temperature of a battery of the vehicle. The vehicle, based on at least the state of charge and battery temperature, determines a charge acceptance rate for the battery and determines if the acceptance rate meets at least one predefined parameter for charging. The vehicle finds at least one charging station within a predefined proximity for which one or more known charge provision characteristics allow the at least one predefined parameter to be met, responsive to the acceptance rate meeting the at least one predefined parameter, and displays a location of the at least one charging station.
