SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SETTING CURRENT CAPACITY OF A CHARGING CABLE FOR SUPPLY OF BATTERY POWER FROM ONE ELECTRIC VEHICLE TO ANOTHER ELECTRIC VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18374984 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SETTING CURRENT CAPACITY OF A CHARGING CABLE FOR SUPPLY OF BATTERY POWER FROM ONE ELECTRIC VEHICLE TO ANOTHER ELECTRIC VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a system for setting the current capacity of a charging cable to transfer battery power from one electric vehicle to another. A discharge controller in the supply vehicle discharges its battery to supply power to a target vehicle, while a charge controller in the target vehicle charges its battery using the power from the supply vehicle. The system ensures that the discharging current of the charging cable is set based on the allowable charging current and a predetermined maximum output from the supply vehicle.
- The system involves a discharge controller in the supply vehicle and a charge controller in the target vehicle.
- A charging cable connects the supply vehicle and the target vehicle.
- The discharging current of the charging cable is controlled based on the allowable charging current and a predetermined maximum output from the supply vehicle.

Original Abstract Submitted
In a system for setting current capacity of a charging cable for supply of battery power from one electric vehicle to another electric vehicle, a discharge controller is provided in a supply vehicle to discharge a battery of the supply vehicle to supply battery power to a target vehicle. A charge controller is provided in the target vehicle to charge a battery of the target vehicle with battery power supplied from the supply vehicle. A charging cable part electrically connects the supply vehicle and the target vehicle. The discharge controller is configured to perform control so that a discharging current of the charging cable part is set by detecting an allowable charging current of the charging cable part connected to the supply vehicle and comparing the allowable charging current with a predetermined maximum current outputtable from the supply vehicle.
