1. A method, comprising:
receiving a request from an electric vehicle to find a charging station;
accessing context information for a current trip traveled by the electric vehicle associated with the request;
determining a predicted energy usage for the electric vehicle based on a historical energy usage of the electric vehicle when traveling along a route that is part of the current trip;
identifying one or more charging stations that include characteristics matching the context information for the current trip traveled by the electric vehicle; and
presenting information to the electric vehicle via a user interface of the electric vehicle that indicates the identified one or more charging stations,
wherein the user interface presents:
icons within a map presented by a mapping application, the icons representative of the identified one or more charging stations; and
a graphical element that indicates a range of travel for the electric vehicle based on the predicted energy usage for the electric vehicle.
