Methods and apparatus for optimizing data offloading in electric vehicles

An electric vehicle data offloading optimization system comprising:

• a memory configured to store a categorization model;
• a service provider access device database including base stations and service provider access points;
• and
• a processor connected to the service provider access device database and the memory, the processor and the memory implementing the categorization model, the processor configured to:
• determine, from estimated trip data based on a destination, an amount of data associated with an offloading category which requires substantially immediate offloading;
• determine one or more optimal routes based on the destination and the amount of data which optimize offloading of the amount of data using service provider access points;
• and
• update an employed optimal route based on amount of data from actual trip data.

A method for optimizing data offloading in an electric vehicle, the method comprising:

• categorizing, by an electric vehicle, estimated trip data into multiple offloading categories;
• determining, by the electric vehicle, one or more offloading optimal route based on the categorized estimated trip data for traveling a route;
• categorizing, by the electric vehicle, actual trip data into the multiple offloading categories;
• and
• updating, by the electric vehicle, an employed offloading optimal route based on the categorized actual trip data.
