Abstract
A method, computer-readable medium, system, and apparatus for improving energy transfer with a vehicle are disclosed.
Claims29
A method of managing at least one transfer of energy, said method comprising:
- determining a plurality of interfaces operable to transfer energy between a vehicle and an energy transfer system;
- determining a selection associated with an interface of said plurality of interfaces;
- and
- generating a request to perform, using said interface, an energy transfer between said vehicle and said energy transfer system.
1 more element
A wheel comprising:
- a first portion operable to accept at least one energy transfer component;
- and
- a second portion operable to accept at least one interface, wherein said at least one energy transfer component and said at least one interface are operable to transfer energy between a vehicle and an energy transfer system.
A tire comprising:
- at least one energy transfer component;
- and
- at least one interface coupled to said at least one energy transfer component, wherein said at least one energy transfer component and said at least one interface are operable to transfer energy between a vehicle and an energy transfer system.
A vehicle comprising:
- a first component comprising a first member and a second member, wherein said first and second members are operable to rotate with respect to one another, and wherein said first component is configured to enable a flow of electricity between said first and second members;
- an interface coupled to said first component, wherein said interface is operable to transfer energy, via said first component, between a second component of said vehicle and an energy transfer system located remotely from vehicle.
