    摘要: Various embodiments of the teachings herein include a method for electrically charging vehicle batteries for a group of member vehicles. The method may include: predicting a total energy requirement for charging batteries for the group in a future time period; predicting a temporal distribution of the charging power requirement for the group over the future time period; calculating a total charging power profile optimized in respect of one or more optimization criteria according to the predicted total energy requirement and the predicted temporal distribution of the charging power requirement; purchasing an amount of energy in accordance with the optimized total charging power profile on a relevant energy market; and chronometrically controlling the charging processes of each member vehicle with a respective charging profile so the sum of the respective charging profiles of the individual member vehicles corresponds to the optimized total profile of the charging power.

    摘要: A controller or processing system for a vehicle, such as a passenger service vehicle, the vehicle having at least one energy storage system, at least one alternator or other charging device coupled to and/or operable or driven by an engine or motor, wherein the alternator or other charging device is switchable between an operational state and a non-operational state by the controller or processing system responsive to one or more parameters of the vehicle. The invention also includes an associated vehicle and method. The parameters of the vehicle optionally include one or more or each of: acceleration of the vehicle, accelerator pedal position, vehicle speed, rotation speed of the engine, the gear currently selected and/or the current being drawn from, or load on, the at least one energy storage system and/or current being drawn by one or more or all electrical components of the vehicle and/or engine coolant temperature.
