Claim 10:
11. A method of identifying charging options for a user, the method comprising:
receiving a charging station query including parameters;
accessing a charging station database, the charging station database storing connector codes identifying a connector type and a connector power level for charging connectors provided at a plurality of charging stations;
comparing the parameters of the charging station query to the connector codes of the charging station database to identify a first subset of the plurality of charging stations that fit the parameters of the charging station query;
transmitting mapping data for the first subset of the plurality of charging stations to a client device; and
receiving updated locations of a vehicle associated with the user as the vehicle travels along a route and iteratively servicing additional charging station queries having respective parameters, wherein servicing the additional charging station queries includes, for each additional charging station query:
identifying a new subset of the plurality of charging stations that includes charging stations within a threshold distance of the vehicle and that fit the respective parameters of the additional charging station query, and
transmitting updated mapping data corresponding to the new subset of the plurality of charging stations to the client device.
