Method and apparatus for route planning incorporating charging needs
A system includes a processor configured to determine a projected vehicle arrival time at a destination point. The processor is also configured to determine a projected hailed-ride arrival time at the destination point and, responsive to the projected vehicle arrival time being within a predefined threshold of the projected hailed-ride arrival time, request a hailed-ride to arrive at the destination point.
1. A system comprising:
a processor configured to:
determine a projected charging completion time for a driver vehicle charging at a charging point;
determine a projected hailed-ride arrival time at a driver, of the driver vehicle, location different from the charging point;
determine a projected travel time from the driver location to the charging point; and
responsive to the projected hailed-ride arrival time to the driver location plus the projected travel time from the driver location to the charging point placing a hailed ride at the recharging point within a predefined threshold of the projected charging completion time, request the hailed-ride, to take the driver from the driver location to the charging point, to arrive at the driver location.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the projected charging completion time includes time until a charging appointment end-time.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the projected charging completion time includes time until a charge reaches a predetermined requested level.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is part of a vehicle computing system.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is part of a mobile device.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is part of a remote navigation assistance server.
