Network based management for multiplexed electric vehicle charging

A multiplexing charge control apparatus for electric vehicles, comprising:

• a charging control module;
• said charging module comprising an input configured to be coupled to a voltage source and at least one power output configured to be coupled to an electric vehicle;
• said charging control module having a network connectable communications interface;
• and
• a remote server;
• said communications interface configured for communication between said server and said charging control module through a network gateway or other communications link;
• said communications interface configured for communication of charge control signals from said server to said charging control module for independently controlling distribution of power to said at least one output;
• wherein said control signals are configured for multiplexing distribution of charging the electric vehicle connected to said power output and a second electric vehicle coupled to the remote server.

A multiplexing charge control apparatus for electric vehicles, comprising:

• a charging control module;
• said charging module comprising an input configured to be coupled to a voltage source and a plurality of voltage outputs each configured to individually couple to an electric vehicle;
• wherein the supplied voltage may be multiplexed over the plurality of voltage outputs;
• said charging control module having a network connectable communications interface;
• and
• a remote server;
• said communications interface configured for communication between said server and said charging control module through a network gateway or other communications link;
• said communications interface configured for communication of charge control signals from said server to said charging control module for independently controlling distribution of power to said outputs;
• wherein said control signals are configured for multiplexing distribution of charging between a plurality of electric vehicles connected to said power outputs.
