Methods And Apparatuses For Charging Of Electric Vehicles
A system for controlling a charging of an electric vehicle, wherein a charging at one electric vehicle charging station affect a charging at another electric vehicle charging station is disclosed. The system includes: an electric power grid, a first electric vehicle charging station connected to the electric power grid, and a second electric vehicle charging station connected to the electric power grid, wherein the first electric vehicle charging station facilitates a charge transfer for an electric vehicle at the second electric vehicle charging station using a mobile device. The mobile device relays communication from the electric vehicle charging stations to the cloud server. The charge transfer request received at the cloud server is authorized using identification information and credit account information received from the mobile device. The cloud server sends a response enabling the charge transfer from the second electric vehicle charging station to the electric vehicle.

- 1. A system for controlling multiple electric vehicle chargings, wherein a first charging at one electric vehicle charging station affect a second charging at another electric vehicle charging station, the system comprising:
an electric power grid; a first electric vehicle charging station connected to the electric power grid; and a second electric vehicle charging station connected to the electric power grid, wherein the first electric vehicle charging station facilitates a charge transfer for an electric vehicle at the second electric vehicle charging station using a mobile device, the mobile device disposed between the electric vehicle charging stations and a cloud server, wherein the mobile device relays communication from the electric vehicle charging stations to the cloud server, and wherein the electric vehicle charging stations are unable to transmit a charge transfer request for the electric vehicle to the cloud server without relaying through the mobile device, wherein the charge transfer request relayed from the mobile device includes identification information and credit account information; wherein the charge transfer request received at the cloud server directly from the mobile device is authorized using the identification information and credit account information; and wherein the cloud server sends a response enabling the charge transfer from the second electric vehicle charging station to the electric vehicle.
- 3. A method for controlling multiple electric vehicle chargings, wherein a first charging at one electric vehicle charging station affect a second charging at another electric vehicle charging station, the method comprising:
sending, from a mobile device, a charge transfer request for the electric vehicle over a network link to the cloud server, wherein a user of the mobile device is associated with the electric vehicle to be charged, wherein the charge transfer request from the mobile device includes identification information and credit account information, wherein the mobile device in a component of the electric vehicle that utilizes a telematics service to communicate directly with the electric vehicle charging station and the cloud server; authorizing the charge transfer request received at the cloud server using the identification information and credit account information received from the mobile device; sending a charging control signal from a first electric vehicle charging station to a second electric vehicle charging station, the charging control signal being configured to adjust a charge transfer for an electric vehicle connected to the second electric vehicle charging station, wherein the electric vehicle charging station uses a smart charging option that staggers a charging rate, a charging period, or both depending at least in part on a specific time for completing a charging of the electric vehicle and how many other electric vehicles are being charged; and receiving a response from the second electric vehicle charging station.
- 10. A method for controlling multiple electric vehicle chargings, wherein a first charging at one electric vehicle charging station affect a second charging at another electric vehicle charging station, the method comprising:
sending, from a mobile device, a charge transfer request for the electric vehicle over a network link to the cloud server, wherein a user of the mobile device is associated with the electric vehicle to be charged, wherein the charge transfer request from the mobile device includes identification information and credit account information; authorizing the charge transfer request received at the cloud server using the identification information and credit account information received from the mobile device; receiving a charging control signal at a first electric vehicle charging station from a second electric vehicle charging station, the charging control signal being configured to adjust a charge transfer for an electric vehicle connected to the first electric vehicle charging station, wherein the electric vehicle charging station uses a smart charging option that staggers a charging rate, a charging period, or both depending at least in part on a specific time for completing a charging of the electric vehicle and how many other electric vehicles are being charged; and adjusting the charge transfer of the electric vehicle according to the charging control signal.
