Abstract
A method for charging/discharging an electric vehicle includes generating map information including a charging/discharging fee rate policy for mapped charging stations and registering the generated map information in a vehicle, identifying one or more charging stations capable of performing a charging/discharging of the vehicle based on the generated map information, selecting an optimal charging station for the charging/discharging among the identified charging stations, determining a charging/discharging schedule based on a charging/discharging fee rate policy of the selected charging station, and performing the charging/discharging based on the determined charging/discharging schedule at the selected charging station.
Claims20
A method, the method comprising:
- generating map information comprising a charging/discharging fee rate policy for mapped charging stations and registering the generated map information in a vehicle;
- identifying one or more charging stations capable of performing a charging/discharging of the vehicle based on the map information;
- selecting an optimal charging station for the charging/discharging among the identified charging stations;
- determining a charging/discharging schedule based on a charging/discharging fee rate policy of the selected charging station;
- and
- performing the charging/discharging based on the determined charging/discharging schedule at the selected charging station.
A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions, that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations comprising:
- generating map information comprising a charging/discharging fee rate policy for each mapped charging station and registering the generated map information in a vehicle;
- identifying one or more charging stations capable of performing charging/discharging operations corresponding to a current location of the vehicle based on the map information;
- selecting an optimal charging station for charging/discharging of the vehicle among the identified charging stations;
- determining a charging/discharging schedule based on a charging/discharging fee rate policy of the optimal charging station;
- and
- performing the charging/discharging based on the determined charging/discharging schedule at the selected charging station.
An electric vehicle, comprising:
- a battery;
- a positioning system for measuring a current location;
- a vehicle communication terminal in communication comprising an external device via a network;
- an electric vehicle charging controller configured to control a charging and a discharging of the battery;
- and
- a charging/discharging device for the charging or the discharging the battery in association with a charging station, the charging/discharging device being controlled by the electric vehicle charging controller,
- wherein the electric vehicle charging controller is configured to perform operations comprising:
- generating map information comprising a charging/discharging fee rate policy for mapped charging stations the generated map information in a navigation system;
- identifying one or more charging stations capable of performing the charging or the discharging corresponding to the current location of the electric vehicle based on the generated map information;
- selecting an optimal charging station for the charging or the discharging among the identified charging stations;
- determining a charging/discharging schedule based on a charging/discharging fee rate policy of the selected charging station;
- and
- performing the charging or discharging at the selected charging station based on the charging/discharging schedule.
