Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed configured to charge an electrical vehicle. A charge request is received for a first electrical vehicle parked at a first parking spot. A battery charging device is connected to a first head unit comprising a first charging cable located in proximity to the first parking spot. A charge request is received for a second electrical vehicle parked at a second parking spot. A determination is made as whether the first electrical vehicle is no longer being charged, and in response to determining that the first electrical vehicle is no longer being charged, the battery charging device is disconnected from the first head unit and is connected to a second head unit comprising a second charging cable located in proximity to the second parking spot.
Claims25
A system, comprising:
- at least one processing device;
- non-transitory memory that stores programmatic instructions that when executed by the at least one processing device cause the system to perform operations comprising:
- determining that a charge request is received for a first electrical vehicle parked at a first location;
- determining whether a first battery charging device is available to charge the first electrical vehicle parked at a first location;
- at least partly in response to determining that a charge request is received for the first electrical vehicle parked at the first location and determining that the first battery charging device is available to charge the first electrical vehicle:
- connecting the first battery charging device to a first charging connector located in proximity to the first location;
- disconnecting the first battery charging device from the first charging connector located in proximity to the first location after the first electrical vehicle is no longer being charged;
- determining that a charge request is received for a second electrical vehicle parked at a second location;
- and
- at least partly in response to the charge request received for the second electrical vehicle parked at the second location and in response to the first battery charging device being disconnected from the first charging connector located in proximity to the first location, connecting the first battery charging device to a second charging connector located in proximity to the second location.
A computer implemented method, the method comprising:
- determining that a charge request is received for a first electrical vehicle parked at a first location;
- determining whether a first battery charging device is available to charge the first electrical vehicle;
- at least partly in response to determining that the charge request is received for the first electrical vehicle parked at the first location and that the first battery charging device is available to charge the first electrical vehicle:
- connecting the first battery charging device to a first charging connector located in proximity to the first location;
- disconnecting the first battery charging device from the first charging connector located in proximity to the first location;
- determining that a charge request is received for a second electrical vehicle parked at a second location;
- and
- at least partly in response to the charge request received for the second electrical vehicle parked at the second location connecting the first battery charging device, previously disconnected from the first charging connector, to a second charging connector located in proximity to the second location.
A non-transitory memory that stores programmatic instructions that when executed by at least one processing device cause the at least one processing device to perform operations comprising:
- determining that a charge request is received for a first electrical vehicle parked at a first location;
- determining whether a first battery charging device is available to charge the first electrical vehicle;
- at least partly in response to determining that the charge request is received for the first electrical vehicle parked at the first location and that the first battery charging device is available to charge the first electrical vehicle:
- connecting the first battery charging device to a first charging connector located in proximity to the first location;
- disconnecting the first battery charging device from the first charging connector located in proximity to the first location;
- determining that a charge request is received for a second electrical vehicle parked at a second location;
- and
- at least partly in response to the charge request received for the second electrical vehicle parked at the second location, connecting the first battery charging device, previously disconnected from the first charging connector, to a second charging connector located in proximity to the second location.
