GOAL-BASED ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17885698 titled 'GOAL-BASED ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING
Simplified Explanation
The system in a vehicle includes memory to store driving history and charging history of the vehicle. The system also includes a processor to obtain a predicted battery life of one or more battery packs of the vehicle based on the driving history and the charging history, obtain a targeted battery life of a user indicating a mileage goal for a specific charge capacity of the one or more battery packs, and determine a difference between the predicted battery life and the targeted battery life. The processor solves an optimization problem to determine a future charging strategy to achieve the targeted battery life and controls an onboard charging system or an external charger based on the future charging strategy or controls routing or navigation based on the future charging strategy.
- Memory stores driving history and charging history
- Processor calculates predicted battery life based on history
- Processor determines targeted battery life set by user
- Optimization problem solved to determine future charging strategy
- Onboard charging system or external charger controlled based on strategy
- Routing or navigation may be controlled based on strategy
- Potential Applications
- Electric vehicles - Autonomous vehicles - Fleet management systems
- Problems Solved
- Extending battery life - Optimizing charging strategies - Meeting user mileage goals
- Benefits
- Prolonged battery life - Efficient charging - Customizable mileage goals
