Synchronized lighting for electric vehicles

A method for synchronizing charge status lights, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a charging station control system, a charge status light pattern configured to control operation of at least one charge status light on a plurality of charging stations and at least one charge status light on a plurality of electric vehicles coupled to the plurality of charging stations;
• and
• controlling, based on a synchronization time signal and the charge status light pattern, synchronized operation of the at least one charge status light on each charging station,
• wherein the synchronization time signal is based on a wireless time signal, and
• wherein the synchronization time signal is a repeating signal that causes the charge status lights on each charging station to repeatedly display the charge status light pattern at the same points in time.

A method for synchronizing charge status lights, the method comprising:

• establishing communication links between a charging station control system and a plurality of electric vehicles, each electric vehicle coupled to a charging station;
• transmitting, from the charging station control system, a charge status light pattern configured to control operation of one or more charge status lights on the electric vehicles and one or more charge status lights on the charging stations;
• and
• controlling, based on a synchronization time signal and the charge status light pattern, synchronized operation of the charge status lights on the electric vehicles and the charging stations,
• wherein the synchronization time signal is based on a wireless time signal, and
• wherein the synchronization time signal is a repeating signal that causes the charge status lights on the electric vehicles and the charging stations to repeatedly display the charge status light pattern at the same points in time.
