Abstract
A method for charging a battery of a vehicle including at least one electric power train, the battery adapted to supply electrical energy to the electric power train, includes: predicting a charging location for charging the battery after at least one next trip of the vehicle; and transmitting the charging location to a power grid.
Claims21
A method for charging a battery of a vehicle including at least one electric power train, the battery adapted to supply electrical energy to the electric power train, comprising:
- predicting a charging location for charging the battery after at least one next trip of the vehicle;
- and
- transmitting the charging location to a power grid.
A method for charging a battery of a vehicle including at least one electric power train, the battery adapted to supply electrical energy to the electric power train, comprising:
- determining a current location during charging of the vehicle;
- determining whether the current location is registered as a public charging location;
- and
- if the current location is not registered as a public charging location, registering the current location as a non-public charging location for the vehicle.
A control device for charging a battery of a vehicle including at least one electric power train, the battery adapted to supply electrical energy to the electric power train, comprising:
- a processing unit adapted to predict a charging location for charging the battery after at least one next trip of the vehicle;
- and
- a transmitter adapted to transmit the charging location to a power grid.
A control device for charging a battery of a vehicle including at least one electric power train, the battery adapted to supply electrical energy to the electric power train, comprising:
- a positioning unit adapted to determine a current location during charging of the vehicle;
- and
- a processing unit adapted to determine whether the current location is registered as a public charging location, and, if the current location is not registered as a public charging location, to register the current location as a non-public charging location for the vehicle.
