Mobile EV Charging Station

A mobile electronic vehicle (EV) charging station comprising:

• a charging station housing with an interior compartment, wherein the charging station housing includes a roof with a rim defining a perimeter of a recessed area;
• a solar panel assembly comprising a plurality of legs mounted to the roof within the recessed area that support a solar array, wherein the plurality of legs are configured to adjust an orientation of the solar array, wherein the solar panel assembly is movable between a retracted position and an extended position, wherein in the retracted position, the solar array has an exposed surface area no greater than the area defined by the rim, wherein in the extended position, the solar array has an exposed surface area greater than the area defined by the rim, wherein the solar array includes one or more portions that pivot between the extended position and the retracted position;
• one or more charging bays arranged on the charging station housing, wherein the one or more charging bays include one or more charging connectors each configured to connect to an EV vehicle;
• a plurality of batteries within the interior compartment of the charging station housing, wherein the solar panel assembly is electrically connected with the plurality of batteries to recharge the plurality of batteries based on harvesting solar energy;
• a power delivery subsystem to control supply of electrical power from one or more of the plurality of batteries to the one or more charging connectors;
• and
• a drive system to drive the charging station housing from a first position to a second position, wherein the drive system includes a plurality of wheels and one or more motors operatively connected together such that the drive system drives one or more of the plurality of wheels with the one or more motors, wherein the plurality of wheels are movable between an extended position and a retracted position, wherein when the plurality of wheels are in the extended position, the plurality of wheels suspend the charging station housing above a ground, wherein when the plurality of wheels are in the retracted position, at least a portion of the charging station housing makes contact with the ground, wherein the drive system is configured to be remotely controlled based on wireless communications received from a user-actuated wireless controller as to:
• (i) speed, (ii) steering, and (iii) moving the plurality of wheels between the extended position and the retracted position.
