A system and method 200 for determining the availability of an electric vehicle (EV) charging station comprises: a telematics unit configured to wirelessly communicate with a second telematics unit of a second EV electrically coupled to a charging station 206; a processor to obtain a remaining charge time from the other (second) vehicle 208, using the telematics unit; and a display for displaying the remaining charge time 210. The telematics unit may wirelessly communicate with the charging station to determine availability of a charging point 202, before communicating with the second vehicle 206. The unit may enable communication between a first user of the first vehicle and a second user of the second vehicle, requesting an estimated departure time 220, 224. The unit may further display a map indicating the location of the charging station 226.
