A mobile charging station 101 (providing, for example, vehicle-to-vehicle charging) attends an electric vehicle 103-106 (EV) or hybrid electric vehicle (HEV, PHEV) en route to a destination in order to charge said vehicle 103-106. This is based on a predicted charging event, wherein the system 111 anticipates a charging need based on information from the vehicle 117, 118. The charging event is transmitted 113 to the vehicle driver so that the driver can divert to an appropriate charging stopping location. The charging event is based on predicted or scheduled route information. The mobile charging 101 station may be provided with a plurality of lithium-titrate cells. Also provided is a method of recharging an electric vehicle 103-106 at a selected one of a number of identified suitable charging locations. The charging location is selected based on an identified regular journey pattern, a predicted need for charging, and confirmation from the user. The suitable locations may be provided either with static or fixed charging stations or mobile charging apparatus 101. Data may be received from the vehicle navigation system or from a users diary system 115, 116 in order to identify a journey pattern.
