Abstract
Managing automated electric vehicle self-charging is provided. An identifier corresponding to an electric vehicle is placed in a queue of a charging station located in a geographic area surrounding a parking location of the electric vehicle based on a wait time for the electric vehicle at the charging station being within a maximum wait time defined by a user of the electric vehicle. A first set of instructions is deployed to the electric vehicle to self-drive from the parking location to the charging station to self-charge a battery in accordance with the wait time.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for managing automated electric vehicle self-charging, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- placing, by a computer, an identifier corresponding to an electric vehicle in a queue of a charging station located in a geographic area surrounding a parking location of the electric vehicle based on a wait time for the electric vehicle at the charging station being within a maximum wait time defined by a user of the electric vehicle;
- and
- deploying, by the computer, a first set of instructions to the electric vehicle to self-drive from the parking location to the charging station to self-charge a battery in accordance with the wait time.
A computer system for managing automated electric vehicle self-charging, the computer system comprising:
- a communication fabric;
- a set of computer-readable storage media connected to the communication fabric, wherein the set of computer-readable storage media collectively stores program instructions;
- and
- a set of processors connected to the communication fabric, wherein the set of processors executes the program instructions to:
- place an identifier corresponding to an electric vehicle in a queue of a charging station located in a geographic area surrounding a parking location of the electric vehicle based on a wait time for the electric vehicle at the charging station being within a maximum wait time defined by a user of the electric vehicle;
- and
- deploy a first set of instructions to the electric vehicle to self-drive from the parking location to the charging station to self-charge a battery in accordance with the wait time.
A computer program product for managing automated electric vehicle self-charging, the computer program product comprising a set of computer-readable storage media having program instructions collectively stored therein, the program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to:
- place an identifier corresponding to an electric vehicle in a queue of a charging station located in a geographic area surrounding a parking location of the electric vehicle based on a wait time for the electric vehicle at the charging station being within a maximum wait time defined by a user of the electric vehicle;
- and
- deploy a first set of instructions to the electric vehicle to self-drive from the parking location to the charging station to self-charge a battery in accordance with the wait time.
