Abstract: A system includes a processor configured to detect the presence of a wireless network access point usable for vehicular communication. The processor is also configured to connect to the wireless access point and report connection information relating to the connected wireless access point to an entity capable of establishing direct cellular connection with a vehicle, identifying the connected wireless access point as an alternative communication method if cellular communication is unavailable.

Abstract: A system includes a processor configured to receive an indication of a trigger state indicating that a message should be broadcast over dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) from a broadcasting vehicle. The processor is also configured to select a message, in response to the trigger state, for broadcast and broadcast the selected message while the trigger state persists.

Abstract: A system includes a processor configured to receive a desired departure time and route for upcoming travel, from a vehicle computing system. The processor is also configured to determine a traffic level based on the received time for the received route. The processor is further configured to determine a vehicle charge level and recommend a new route or departure time if the vehicle charge level is projected to be sufficient to achieve travel-completion based on the new route or departure time in accordance with the recommendation.
