Method of assisting a driver of a plug-in electric vehicle, comprising - accessing a map of a vicinity of the vehicle, - searching the map for charging stations (12, 13), - prioritizing the charging stations (12, 13) based on security criteria and vacancy of charging points at the charging stations (12, 13), and - communicating the prioritized charging station to the driver as a recommendation, wherein the security criteria encompass distance of the charging stations (12, 13) to sites of criminal incidents and proximity of the charging stations (12, 13) to other points of interest comprising at least one of the following venues (14, 15, 16): - a café, - a restaurant, or - a shop, characterized in that - the venues are disregarded outside opening hours, - the security criteria further encompass presence of surveillance cameras on site, - the prioritizing is further based on advertised operating hours of the charging stations (12, 13) and acceptance of payment cards at the charging stations (12, 13) and - the method further comprises calculating charging time at each of the available charging stations (12, 13) based on its charging rate and charging level of the vehicle, estimating charging end time, and determining whether the latter falls within the established opening hours of the nearby venues (14, 15, 16), wherein the charging station (12, 13) is only prioritized if the venues (14, 15, 16) remain opened until charging is completed. - accessing a map of a vicinity of the vehicle, - searching the map for charging stations (12, 13), - prioritizing the charging stations (12, 13) based on security criteria and vacancy of charging points at the charging stations (12, 13), and - communicating the prioritized charging station to the driver as a recommendation, wherein the security criteria encompass distance of the charging stations (12, 13) to sites of criminal incidents and proximity of the charging stations (12, 13) to other points of interest comprising at least one of the following venues (14, 15, 16): - a café, - a restaurant, or - a shop, characterized in that - the venues are disregarded outside opening hours, - the security criteria further encompass presence of surveillance cameras on site, - the prioritizing is further based on advertised operating hours of the charging stations (12, 13) and acceptance of payment cards at the charging stations (12, 13) and - the method further comprises calculating charging time at each of the available charging stations (12, 13) based on its charging rate and charging level of the vehicle, estimating charging end time, and determining whether the latter falls within the established opening hours of the nearby venues (14, 15, 16), wherein the charging station (12, 13) is only prioritized if the venues (14, 15, 16) remain opened until charging is completed. wherein the security criteria encompass distance of the charging stations (12, 13) to sites of criminal incidents and proximity of the charging stations (12, 13) to other points of interest comprising at least one of the following venues (14, 15, 16): - a café, - a restaurant, or - a shop, - a café, - a restaurant, or - a shop, characterized in that - the venues are disregarded outside opening hours, - the security criteria further encompass presence of surveillance cameras on site, - the prioritizing is further based on advertised operating hours of the charging stations (12, 13) and acceptance of payment cards at the charging stations (12, 13) and - the method further comprises calculating charging time at each of the available charging stations (12, 13) based on its charging rate and charging level of the vehicle, estimating charging end time, and determining whether the latter falls within the established opening hours of the nearby venues (14, 15, 16), wherein the charging station (12, 13) is only prioritized if the venues (14, 15, 16) remain opened until charging is completed. - the venues are disregarded outside opening hours, - the security criteria further encompass presence of surveillance cameras on site, - the prioritizing is further based on advertised operating hours of the charging stations (12, 13) and acceptance of payment cards at the charging stations (12, 13) and - the method further comprises calculating charging time at each of the available charging stations (12, 13) based on its charging rate and charging level of the vehicle, estimating charging end time, and determining whether the latter falls within the established opening hours of the nearby venues (14, 15, 16), wherein the charging station (12, 13) is only prioritized if the venues (14, 15, 16) remain opened until charging is completed.
