Abstract
Systems and methods for automating delivery of electric charge to a vehicle are described. In one example, a media access control address is mapped, related, or associated with an EVSEID at each location so that a cloud server may request activation of the electric vehicle supply equipment.
Claims20
A method for charging a traction battery, comprising:
- generating a relationship between a media access control address value and a public location identification value;
- and
- activating an electric vehicle supply equipment device via referencing the relationship according to the media access control address value.
A system, comprising:
- a cloud server configured to communicate with a vehicle, an electric vehicle supply equipment, and an external charge management service, the cloud server including executable instructions that cause the cloud server to:
- generate a relationship between a media access control address, a location identification value, and an electric vehicle supply equipment identification value;
- and
- request activation of electric vehicle supply equipment according to the relationship between the media access control address, the location identification value, and the electric vehicle supply equipment identification value.
1 more element
A method for charging a traction battery, comprising:
- generating a request to activate electric vehicle supply equipment so as to deliver electric charge to a vehicle in response to a mapping of an electric vehicle supply equipment media access control address value to a location identification value based on timing of electric vehicle supply equipment in-use status and timing of an alert that the vehicle is electrically coupled to an electric vehicle supply equipment device.
