11. An electrical charging system, comprising:
one or more processing devices; and
a non-transitory memory device in communication with the one or more processing devices, the non-transitory memory storing instructions that when executed by the one or more processing devices, result in:
receiving information indicative of a desired charge level of a battery of an electric vehicle wherein the desired charge level is defined by a user of the electric vehicle via a Graphical User Interface (GUI) adapted to display a unitary vehicle charge indicator comprising a combination of input and output GUI elements the GUI elements comprising:
(i) a first portion indicative of an amount of charge residing in a battery of the electric vehicle;
(ii) a second portion indicative of an uncharged capacity of the battery of the electric vehicle; and
(iii) a third portion comprising a slider by which an amount of charge may be specified;
displaying a charging status of the electric vehicle via the GUI; and
increasing, in accordance with the desired charge level, a level of charge of the battery of the electric vehicle;
wherein the desired charge level of the battery represents a specific amount of charge desired to reside in the battery after increasing the level of charge.
