Abstract
A system and method for ranking or scoring charging stations and/or charging events or sessions, and/or performing actions based on the ranking or scoring is described. In some embodiments, a charging station ranking engine is configured to rank charging stations, or potential charging events, based on feedback received from users of the charging stations, such as drivers of electric vehicles, or other dynamically determined factors.
Claims15
A computerized method, comprising:
- accessing information associated with a charging station;
- and
- determining a score for the charging station based on the accessed information.
A system, comprising:
- an information module that accesses information associated with multiple charging stations;
- a ranking module that ranks each of the charging stations based on the accessed information;
- and
- a display module that is configured to display icons representative of the charging stations along with indicators for rankings assigned to each of the charging stations within a mapping application supported by a mobile device.
A computer-readable storage medium whose contents, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations for presenting charging station information to a driver of an electric vehicle, the operations comprising:
- accessing information associated with a charging station, the information obtained from reviews provided by drivers of electric vehicles that have utilized the charging station;
- determining a score for the charging station based on the accessed information;
- and
- causing a mapping application to display an icon representative of the charging station and an indicator representative of the determined score for the charging station.
