Abstract
An electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) receives, from an electric vehicle (EV) connected to the EVSE, one or more electric vehicle (EV) operator-specific parameters that are specific to an EV operator, where the one or more EV operator-specific parameters affect charging service for the EV at the EVSE, and where the one or more EV operator-specific parameters are received automatically as a result of the EV being connected to the EVSE. The EVSE applies the one or more EV operator-specific parameters.
Claims21
A method in an electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), comprising:
- receiving, at the EVSE from an electric vehicle (EV) connected to the EVSE, one or more electric vehicle (EV) operator-specific parameters that are specific to an EV operator, wherein the one or more EV operator-specific parameters affect charging service for the EV at the EVSE, wherein the one or more EV operator-specific parameters are received automatically as a result of the EV being connected to the EVSE, and wherein the one or more EV operator-specific parameters includes pricing parameters for the charging service;
- and
- applying the one or more EV operator-specific parameters to affect the charging service for the EV at the EVSE, wherein applying the one or more EV operator-specific parameters includes the following:
- determining, from the pricing parameters, a rate the EV operator is willing to pay for the charging service.
An electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that provides instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes said processor to perform the following operations:
- receive, at the EVSE from an electric vehicle (EV) connected to the EVSE, one or more EV operator-specific parameters that are specific to an EV operator, wherein the one or more EV operator-specific parameters affect charging service for the EV at the EVSE, wherein the one or more EV operator-specific parameters are received automatically as a result of the EV being connected to the EVSE, and wherein the one or more EV operator-specific parameters includes pricing parameters for the charging service, and
- apply the one or more EV operator-specific parameters to affect the charging service for the EV at the EVSE, wherein applying the one or more EV operator-specific parameters includes causing said processor to:
- determine, from the pricing parameters, a rate the EV operator is willing to pay for the charging service.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of an electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) that provides instructions that, when executed by a processor of the EVSE, will cause the EVSE to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, at the EVSE from an electric vehicle (EV) connected to the EVSE, one or more EV operator-specific parameters that are specific to an EV operator, wherein the one or more EV operator-specific parameters affect charging service for the EV at the EVSE, wherein the one or more EV operator-specific parameters are received automatically as a result of the EV being connected to the EVSE, and wherein the one or more EV operator-specific parameters includes pricing parameters for the charging service;
- and
- applying the one or more EV operator-specific parameters to affect the charging service for the EV at the EVSE, wherein applying the one or more EV operator-specific parameters includes the following:
- determining, from the pricing parameters, a rate the EV operator is willing to pay for the charging service.
