Zusammenfassung:	A method is provided to find an optimal charging station for an electric vehicle travelling along an intended route. Optimality can be based on various factors including relative cost savings, the distance required to detour to a charging station, a station charging level indicating how fast charging takes place, and a safety rating for a charging station. The detour charging station might be a mobile facility. The charging station information is downloaded to the vehicle's navigation system on a regular basis, e.g., daily. Relative cost savings is considered as a percentage of the cost of a reference charging station that is on the route, i.e., that would incur no detour deviation. The detour distance is considered as a percentage of the overall trip distance. An operator of the electric vehicle can set threshold constraints for these factors, and the factors can have different priorities for determining optimality.
