Device and method for recommending charging station

A method for recommending a charging station, the method comprising:

• collecting, by a data collection device, real-time information of a plurality of charging stations, real-time information of at least one vehicle related to the plurality of charging stations, and real-time information related to external environmental factors based on a specified period;
• updating and storing, by a data storage device, the real-time information of the plurality of charging stations, the real-time information of the at least one vehicle, and the real-time information related to the external environmental factors based on the specified period;
• generating, by a data processing device, processing information for selecting some of the plurality of charging stations based on the real-time information of the plurality of charging stations, the real-time information of the at least one vehicle, and the real-time information related to the external environmental factors;
• and
• generating, by a data application device, a charging station list for recommending charging stations among the plurality of charging stations to an ego vehicle based on at least some of the processing information generated by the data processing device,
• wherein the generating by the data processing device of the processing information includes:
• identifying, by the data processing device, at least one of an outside air temperature or an outside air speed of a region including a travel route of the ego vehicle among the real-time information related to the external environmental factors;
• classifying, by the data processing device, the region into a plurality of temperature regions based on the outside air temperature, or into a plurality of wind speed regions based on the outside air speed;
• identifying, by the data processing device, a charging station of an indoor type among the plurality of charging stations based on at least one of (i) a temperature region in which the outside air temperature is lower than a predetermined temperature, or (ii) a wind speed region in which the outside air speed is equal to or higher than a predetermined speed;
• and
• generating, by the data processing device, the processing information including the identified charging station of the indoor type.
