Abstract:
A collection, charging and distribution machine collects, charges and distributes portable electrical energy storage devices ( e.g. , batteries, super- or ultracapacitors). To charge, the machine employs electrical current from an external source, such as the electrical grid or an electrical service of an installation location. The machine determines a first number of devices to be rapidly charged, employing charge from a second number of devices identified to sacrifice charge. Thus, some devices may be concurrently charged via current from the electrical service and current from other devices, to achieve rapid charging of some subset of devices. The devices that sacrifice charge may later be charged. Such may ensure availability of devices for end users. Collection, charging and distribution machines may be deployed individually or as networked collection, charging and distribution modules with one collection, charging and distribution module controlling at least one other collection, charging and distribution module.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for refueling a vehicle are discussed herein. According to one embodiment, a vehicle charging station includes a power distribution interface, a receiver component, and an authorization component. The power distribution interface is configured to electrically couple with and provide electrical power to a power receiving interface of a vehicle. The power distribution interface includes a power cable extending from the vehicle charging station and the power cable includes an outlet plug. The receiver component is configured to receive identification information that uniquely identifies the vehicle from an identification component of the vehicle. The receiver component is configured to communicate with the identification component to allow electrical communication between the identification component and the receiver component when the power receiving interface is electrically coupled to the power distribution interface. The authorization component is configured to allow flow of electrical power to the vehicle in response to authorization based on the received identification information.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for operating a charging station (L) which is designed for electrically charging an electrically powered vehicle (F), wherein the vehicle (F) is coupled to the charging station (L) for charging, wherein a time for the coupling of the vehicle (F) to the charging station (L) is documented separately at least by the vehicle (F) and the charging station (L).
Abstract:
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media provide electric supply equipment (200) configured to perform diagnostics. The electric supply equipment (200) may include a receptacle (210) for forming a closed circuit loop. The electric supply equipment (200) includes a connector (203) for charging devices, such as electric vehicles (101). The connector (203) may include one or more conductors, some of which may be wrapped with insulation. When the connector (103), (203) is not used for charging, the connector (203) may be connected to a receptacle (210) of the electric supply equipment (200). Thus, the electric supply equipment (200), via the receptacle (210), may form a closed loop circuit with the conductors. Further, the electric supply equipment (200) may include a diagnostic unit (250) for performing diagnostic tests on the conductors. In particular, the diagnostic unit (250) may access ends of the conductors via the receptacle (210).
