1. A system comprising:
a route planning system further comprising an infotainment system, a navigation system, a memory, and a processor, communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the system, under power, is operable to:
receive a first information comprising a destination, a preferred driving habit, and a charging preference via the infotainment system;
determine a shortest driving route from a current position to the destination based on the first information;
receive a second information on road condition for the shortest driving route;
estimate a rate of power consumption in the shortest driving route based on a length of the shortest driving route, the preferred driving habit, and the road condition; and
update the shortest driving route to a driving route comprising a first charging station based on the charging preference, the rate of power consumption, and an availability of the first charging station.
