Claims9
A remote identification device, comprising:
- means for remotely communicating with communication means of a vehicle associated with the remote identification device, the remote communication means comprising interrogation means for interrogating a state-of-charge of at least one battery of the vehicle by being configured to emit at a time interval a state-of-charge interrogation signal to the vehicle, the time interval corresponding to a time between two successive interrogating signals,
- wherein the remote communication means comprise means for receiving the state-of-charge information concerning the at least one battery of the vehicle, and
- wherein the time interval between the two successive interrogating signals depends on a comparison between the state-of-charge of the at least one battery of the vehicle with the state-of-charge of the at least one battery of the vehicle on a preceding interrogation.
