PRIVATE CHARGING STATION AVAILABILITY SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17945828 titled 'PRIVATE CHARGING STATION AVAILABILITY SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes a private charging station availability system for electric vehicles, allowing owners to loan or rent out their idle stations based on defined criteria.
- Private charging station availability system for electric vehicles
- Allows owners to loan or rent out their idle stations
- Owners can define special criteria for use of their charger
- System identifies public and private charging stations
- Private stations must meet defined requirements (e.g., renewable energy usage, owner onsite, low grid power usage)
- Identified stations provided in response to user requests
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in residential areas, apartment complexes, and commercial buildings to increase access to electric vehicle charging stations.
Problems Solved
1. Limited access to charging stations in certain areas 2. Lack of renewable energy options for electric vehicle charging
Benefits
1. Increased availability of charging stations 2. Promotion of renewable energy usage 3. Potential for owners to earn income by renting out their stations
Potential Commercial Applications
"Electric Vehicle Charging Station Sharing System for Homeowners and Apartment Dwellers"
Possible Prior Art
There are existing platforms that allow for the sharing of private parking spaces, but specific systems for sharing private electric vehicle charging stations may not have been widely implemented.

The article does not provide details on the security measures in place to protect the charging stations and vehicles while they are being loaned or rented out.
What is the process for resolving disputes between owners and users regarding the use of the charging stations?
The article does not address how conflicts or disagreements between owners and users over the terms of use or condition of the charging stations are resolved.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to electric vehicle supply equipment. More particularly, this disclosure describes a private charging station availability system that allows home owners or apartment dwellers to loan or rent out their idle station. Through this system, an owner of the private charging station may define special criteria for use of their charger. In one illustrative embodiment, after receiving a request for available charging stations in an area, the system may identify public charging stations and private charging stations. The private charging stations are limited to those that meet a defined requirement such as charging stations that are limited to only using renewable energy resources, whether an owner is onsite, or local grid power usage is below a threshold. After identifying those charging stations, they may be provided in response to the request.
