Charger-based vehicle software update validation

A system for iterative software updating using consumer vehicles, comprising:

• a storage maintaining vehicle information, the vehicle information including records indicative of when vehicles are historically connected to which of charging stations and parameters with respect to configuration and/or features of the vehicles;
• and
• a charger monitoring server configured to:
• identify an update list of vehicles to receive a software update,
• send update requests to apply the software update to the vehicles on the update list,
• receive testing reports from the vehicles and the charging stations,
• responsive to the testing reports indicating success above a minimum success threshold, continue to roll out the software update in an additional cycle of testing, and
• otherwise, send reversion update requests to roll back the software update to the vehicles and the charging stations.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions for iterative software updating using consumer vehicles that, when executed by a charger monitoring server, cause the charger monitoring server to perform operations including to:

• maintain vehicle information, the vehicle information including records indicative of when vehicles are historically connected to which of charging stations and parameters with respect to configuration and/or features of the vehicles;
• identify an update list of vehicles to receive a software update;
• send update requests to apply the software update to the vehicles on the update list;
• receive testing reports from the vehicles and charging stations;
• responsive to the testing reports indicating success above a minimum success threshold, continue to roll out the software update in an additional cycle of testing, and
• otherwise, send reversion update requests to roll back the software update to the vehicles and the charging stations.
