DETERMINING VEHICLE CHARGING LOCATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17959297 titled 'DETERMINING VEHICLE CHARGING LOCATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application related to determining charging locations for vehicles based on their charge levels.

  • Determining multiple vehicles and their charge levels at a first charging location
  • Identifying a subset of vehicles and their charge levels at a second charging location
  • Selecting a new charging location based on the vehicles, charge levels, and locations

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in electric vehicle charging infrastructure management systems to optimize charging locations based on vehicle demand and charge levels.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient allocation of charging resources based on vehicle charge levels 2. Minimizing wait times for charging by strategically placing charging locations

Benefits

1. Reduced congestion at charging stations 2. Improved user experience for electric vehicle owners 3. Increased efficiency in managing charging infrastructure

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing electric vehicle charging networks for municipalities or private charging station operators

Possible Prior Art
