Method for recharging an electrical energy storage device storing electrical energy of a plurality of vehicles

A method for recharging an electrical energy storage device of all or some of a plurality of vehicles connected to a chain, all of the plurality of vehicles connected to the chain being referred to as a stock, each vehicle comprising an electronic circuit connected to the electrical energy storage device, each vehicle comprising a microcontroller, the method comprising:

• selecting and recharging at least one electrical energy storage device with an electric current circulating between the electronic circuits of at least two consecutive vehicles among the plurality of vehicles in the stock;
• communicating to a master microcontroller or to a remote server a list of the plurality of vehicles in the stock and a charging state of the electrical energy storage device of said each vehicle in the stock, the master microcontroller being determined among the microcontrollers of the plurality of vehicles in the stock or in a terminal connected to the stock;
• wherein said at least one electrical energy storage device to be charged is automatically selected according to a position of said each vehicle with respect to a reference vehicle in the stock and the charging state of the electrical energy storage device in said each vehicle;
• and
• wherein a number of electrical energy storage devices selected to be charged is restricted to a predetermined number, the electrical storage devices selected to be charged having a charge level below a predetermined threshold, and situated at a predetermined distance from the reference vehicle located at one end of the stock.
