Enqueuing electric vehicles for improved fleet availability

A system comprising one or more processing devices and one or more memory devices operably coupled to the one or more processing devices, the one or more memory devices storing executable code effective to cause the one or more processing devices to:

• receive first charge data from a first vehicle, second charge data from a second vehicle, and third charge data from a third vehicle;
• receive first departure time data from the first vehicle, second departure time data from the second vehicle, and third departure time data from the third vehicle;
• determine that the first departure time data and the second departure time data are less than a first threshold value and the third departure time data is greater than the first threshold value;
• determine, based on the first charge data and the second charge data, that a first charge time associated with the first vehicle is less than a second charge time associated with the second vehicle;
• sort the first vehicle and the second vehicle into a first tier and the third vehicle into a second tier, wherein the first tier includes vehicles with a charge time less than the first threshold value, and wherein the second tier includes vehicles with a charge time greater than the first threshold value;
• assign the first vehicle and the second vehicle to a first queue associated with a first charging coil at a charging location;
• assign the third vehicle to a second queue associated with a second charging coil at the charging location;
• assign a fourth vehicle to the first queue and a fifth vehicle to the second queue;
• determine that the fourth vehicle at a third position in the first queue has a shorter estimated charging time or a sooner departure time than the fifth vehicle in a second position in the second queue, the second position being closer to a front of the second queue than the third position is to a front of the first queue;
• and
• assign the fourth vehicle to the second position in the second queue in front of the fifth vehicle.

A method comprising, by a computer system:

• receiving first charge data from a first vehicle, second charge data from a second vehicle, and third charge data from a third vehicle;
• receiving first departure time data from the first vehicle, second departure time data from the second vehicle, and third departure time data from the third vehicle;
• determining that the first departure time data and the second departure time data are less than a first threshold value and the third departure time data is greater than the first threshold value;
• determining, based on the first charge data and the second charge data, that a first charge time associated with the first vehicle is less than a second charge time associated with the second vehicle;
• sorting the first vehicle and the second vehicle into a first tier and the third vehicle into a second tier, wherein the first tier includes vehicles with a charge time less than the first threshold value, and wherein the second tier includes vehicles with a charge time greater than the first threshold value;
• assigning the first vehicle and the second vehicle to a first queue associated with a first charging coil at a charging location;
• assigning the third vehicle to a second queue associated with a second charging coil at the charging location;
• receiving fourth charge data from a fourth vehicle in the first queue, wherein the fourth charge data is received before the fourth vehicle is positioned within the first queue;
• receiving fifth charge data from the fourth vehicle, wherein the fifth charge data is received while the fourth vehicle is positioned within the first queue;
• determining that a fourth charge time associated with the fourth charge data is less than a fifth charge time associated with the fifth charge data, wherein a difference between the fourth charge time and the fifth charge time is based on the fourth vehicle being charged using a solar panel while within the first queue;
• and
• assigning the fourth vehicle to a different position in the first queue or the second queue.
