1. A system, comprising:
a display having a screen; and
processing circuitry configured to:
determine a partial range of an electric vehicle corresponding to a predetermined percentage of a current state of charge (SOC) of a battery of the electric vehicle;
determine, based on a route to a destination, a first location corresponding to the partial range;
select a first suggested charging station based on the first location corresponding to the partial range;
determine, based on the route to the destination, a second location;
select a second suggested charging station based on the second location;
determine a first recharge time for charging at the first suggested charging station to reach the second suggested charging station with an intermediate arrival SOC of the battery;
determine a second recharge time for charging at the second suggested charging station to reach the destination with a predetermined destination SOC of the battery greater than the intermediate arrival SOC of the battery; and
display, on the screen of the display, a navigation interface that displays the route to a destination overlaid with the first suggested charging station with the corresponding first recharge time and the second suggested charging station with the corresponding second recharge time.
