A control system includes a computer configured to remotely control at least one of charging and discharging of a power storage device mounted on a control target. The computer is configured to transmit a first command indicating charging power or discharging power of the power storage device to the control target via each of a first communication path and a second communication path. The control system further includes a determination unit configured to determine whether or not any one of the first communication path and the second communication path is under a cyberattack by using a second command received by the control target via the first communication path when the computer transmits the first command, and a third command received by the control target via the second communication path when the computer transmits the first command.

A method of managing power for recharging electric vehicles efficiently stores, delivers, and distributes energy. The method includes a plurality of user accounts managed by at least one remote server. The system includes a plurality of mobile computerized recharging stations, wherein each mobile computerized recharging station tracks a location and a current amount of available power within a power storage system. The method begins by prompting each user account to search for at least one best-match station. A search request is relayed for the best-match station from a corresponding user PC device to the remote server. The current location is compared to the station location for each mobile computerized recharging station. The minimum threshold of available power is compared to the current amount of available power for each proximal station. The sufficiently-powered station is displayed as the best-match station through the user PC device.

Systems and methods for coordinating steering controls between towing vehicles and towed vehicles provide more cohesive parking experiences during towing events, including bidirectional charging towing events. The towed vehicle may be controlled to provide assistive parking steering maneuvers to assist the towing vehicle when parking during the towing event. The assistive parking steering maneuver may include maneuvering a drive wheel of the towed vehicle either toward or away from a detected curb or detected traffic, for example.

In an on-demand electric charge service, a plurality of mobile power transmitters or donors deliver electric charge to one or a plurality of compatible power receivers, or vice versa. Alternatively, a plurality of mobile power receivers or donors and a plurality of power receivers or recipients form nodes of a peer-to-peer charge service, such as in a hub-spoke or a block-chain configuration. A system and/or method for establishing a charge session in an on-demand electric charge service comprises a request processing unit for receiving a charge session request for one or a plurality of power receivers or one or a plurality of mobile power transmitters, and at least one user dataset or one provider dataset.

The invention relates to a charging station for charging electric vehicles, comprising a housing, a power and HMI unit, and an energy conversion unit, wherein the power and HMI unit is arranged between the front of the housing and the energy conversion unit.

Aspects relate to a charging station configured to transfer power between an electric aircraft and a power grid via a charging connection. In one or more embodiments, charging station may communicate with the power grid and/or electric aircraft via a communication network. For example, the charging station may be configured to receive a supply request from a power grid or a demand request from an electric aircraft and subsequently generate a control signal that transfers electrical power between the power grid and the electric aircraft via the charging connection.
