Vehicle charging station having degraded energy storage units and methods thereof

A charging station comprising:

• at least one energy storage unit having a degraded maximum capacity;
• and
• a controller predicting power of a vehicle energy storage unit on an incoming vehicle,
• determining power to be supplied by the at least one energy storage unit having the degraded capacity and power to be supplied by a power grid based on the predicted power of the vehicle storage unit of the incoming vehicle, and based on the based on the power to be supplied by the at least one energy storage unit having the degraded state, pre-filling the at least one energy unit before the vehicle arrives at the charging station based on a predetermined table, wherein the predetermined table comprises information about the at least one energy storage unit and corresponding fill time.

A charging station computing system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and a memory operatively coupled to the processor, the memory storing program instructions that when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:
• predict power of a vehicle energy storage unit of an incoming vehicle;
• pre-fill power to at least one energy storage unit having a degraded state based on a predetermined table using the predicted power of the vehicle energy storage unit of the incoming vehicle wherein the predetermined table comprises information about the at least one energy storage unit and corresponding fill time;
• provide power to the incoming vehicle when connected to the charging station with the at least one energy storage unit and supplemented by a power grid.
