9. A system for presenting electric vehicle charging options, comprising:
a memory storing instructions when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
determine a current geo-location of a requesting vehicle;
determine a current state of charge of a battery of the requesting vehicle;
identify a plurality of charging entities that are within a remaining distance that the requesting vehicle is capable of traveling based on the current geo-location of the requesting vehicle and the current state of charge of the battery of the requesting vehicle, wherein a charging entity of the plurality of charging entities is associated with one or more charging stations configured to provide a charge to the requesting vehicle;
determining occupancy statuses for one or more charging entities of the plurality of charging entities based on a number of the one or more charging stations of the charging entity occupied by one or more charging vehicles and at least one charging parameter of the one or more charging vehicles;
estimate charging speeds for the one or more charging entities based on the occupancy statuses;
present a charging station map user interface that pin points the current geo-location of the requesting vehicle and the one or more charging entities, wherein the one or more charging entities are presented with labels; and
reserve a charging station of a selected charging entity of the plurality of charging entities by selecting a label of the one or more charging entities that is presented on the charging station map user interface.
