Abstract
Embodiments of a method and/or system for charging one or more electric vehicles can include: receiving a request (e.g., a request including one or more parameters; etc.); determining a check in at an Electric Vehicle Service Equipment (EVSE) for the charging session; and/or causing the EVSE to charge the electric vehicle based on a power distribution type for the charging session.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a check-in from a first user for a first charging session, wherein the first user is associated with a first electric vehicle, wherein the check-in comprises a request comprising a parameter, and wherein the check-in involves an interaction between a first mobile device of the first user and a first electric vehicle charger;
- determining a power distribution type for the first charging session, based upon the parameter;
- in response to the check-in, causing the first electric vehicle charger to charge the first electric vehicle according to the power distribution type.
A method comprising:
- receiving a check-in from a first user for a first charging session, wherein the first user is associated with a first electric vehicle, wherein the check-in comprises a request comprising a fleet access code, and wherein the check-in involves communication of the fleet access code using a first mobile device of the first user;
- determining a power distribution type for the first charging session, based upon the fleet access code;
- in response to the check-in, causing the first electric vehicle charger to charge the first electric vehicle according to the power distribution type.
A method comprising:
- receiving a check-in from a first user for a first charging session, wherein the first user is associated with a first electric vehicle, wherein the check-in comprises a request comprising a time parameter, and wherein the check-in involves an interaction between a first mobile device of the first user and a first electric vehicle charger;
- determining a power distribution type for the first charging session, based upon the time parameter, wherein the power distribution type involves a modulation in power output from the first electric vehicle charger;
- in response to the check-in, causing the first electric vehicle charger to charge the first electric vehicle according to the power distribution type.
