Abstract
A charging method in the field of vehicle technologies includes obtaining charging reservation information of an electric vehicle and target unlocking information of a charging port cover of an electric vehicle, generating a charging reservation request based on the charging reservation information and the target unlocking information, and sending the charging reservation request to a charging server, where the charging server may further send the target unlocking information to an unlocking device, so that when the electric vehicle needs to be charged by using the mobile charging vehicle, the unlocking device may unlock a charging port cover of the electric vehicle based on the target unlocking information.
Claims19
A charging method comprising:
- displaying a charging reservation interface, wherein the charging reservation interface comprises a map that displays one or more available charging points;
- receiving an operation on the charging reservation interface;
- obtaining charging reservation information of an electric vehicle in response to the operation, wherein the charging reservation information comprises a charging location of the electric vehicle, and wherein the charging location is a location of a target charging point in the one or more available charging points;
- obtaining target unlocking information of a charging port cover of the electric vehicle, wherein the target unlocking information is a randomly generated character string, or comprises an account registered with a vehicle management server of the electric vehicle and a password used to log in to the account, wherein obtaining the target unlocking information comprises:
- receiving, (a) from the electric vehicle, the target unlocking information of the charging port cover in response to an unlocking information generation request;
- or
- receiving, (b) from a mobile terminal, the unlocking information generation request at a vehicle management server of the electric vehicle, and receiving the target unlocking information that is of the charging port cover of the electric vehicle and that is from the vehicle management server;
- after receiving (a) or (b), generating a charging reservation request based on the charging reservation information and the target unlocking information;
- and
- sending the charging reservation request to a charging server comprising a computing system, wherein the charging reservation request instructs the charging server to schedule a mobile charging vehicle at the charging location based on the charging reservation information and to send the target unlocking information to an unlocking device on the mobile charging vehicle after detecting the mobile charging vehicle at the charging location.
