A controller that controls charging of a power storage in a vehicle includes an obtaining unit that obtains a fee table showing charge fee information for each of a plurality of maximum supply powers of a power feed facility outside the vehicle before start of charging of the power storage with the use of the power feed facility, a setting unit that sets a criterion for selection of maximum supply power of the power feed facility, a selector that selects one maximum supply power in the fee table in accordance with the criterion set by the setting unit, and a notification unit that notifies the power feed facility of the maximum supply power selected by the selector.

The disclosure generally pertains to battery charging management of battery electric vehicles (BEVs). In an example method, a processor generates an operational profile for a first BEV among a number of BEVs. The profile may be based on a mileage accumulation pattern, a parking pattern, and/or a battery charging pattern, detected over an information collection period. The mileage accumulation pattern may be based on the use of the first BEV for commuting from a residence to a workplace. The processor determines an availability of a battery charging outlet in a section of a garage of the residence, and based on the operational profile of the first BEV, identifies a period of time for charging a battery of the first BEV in the garage. The processor then issues a directive to park the first BEV in the section of the garage over the identified period of time for charging the battery.

The present invention includes a cable guide that guide a charging cable out of a rotating chamber; a rotating cylinder that is hollow inside and a form of bottom opened drum; a rotating disk, which has a fan shaped charging cable through hole and is formed from rotating cylinder's open bottom, that rotates the rotating cylinder; a fixed chamber located symmetrically below the rotating disk; a rotating support module, located under the center of the rotating disk, that rotates the rotating disk; a power module that provides torque to the rotation support module. The invention provides ease of shortening and lengthening depending on charging mode and standby mode.

Disclosed is a charger for an electric vehicle suitable for commercial installation having a main body, an electrical usage meter on the main body configured to meter three-phase power, a main three-phase circuit breaker, a transformer in the main body, the transformer configured to step-up the voltage of the three-phase power, and a main single-phase circuit breaker.

A control device includes an ECU configured to acquire, from each of a plurality of vehicles having a secondary battery and being configured to supply power to the outside, information indicating a charging rate of the secondary battery and vehicle model information, generate arrangement position information by which a arrangement position is allocated to each of the plurality of vehicles in a case where the plurality of vehicles supply the power to the outside in parallel to each other, based on the charging rate of the secondary battery and the vehicle model information, and output the arrangement position information.

This invention is based on the availability of Electric Vehicles with onboard inverters and receptacles to supply significant amounts of AC power from the main propulsion batteries of the vehicles. It embodies a system comprising an apparatus and methods for bidirectionally connecting one or more electric vehicles at a workplace or multifamily residence to one or more distribution panels supplying critical loads and one or more panels supplying interruptible loads such that the vehicle(s) can supply back up power to critical loads during a grid outage. The bidirectional connection also enables V2G operation to enable energy arbitrage, demand response, and ancillary services to the grid.

An automatic charging system for intelligent driving electric vehicles and charging method thereof, comprising a vehicle-mounted terminal and a charging terminal; the vehicle-mounted terminal comprises a battery module, which is communicatively connected to a battery management system, and the battery module is electrically connected to a power receiving controller; the battery management system is connected to a vehicle control unit via a vehicle-mounted communication unit, the vehicle control unit is connected to an unmanned system, and the power receiving controller is electrically connected to a receiving coil; the charging terminal comprises a charging management system, which is respectively connected to the vehicle-mounted communication unit and a charging communication unit that is communicatively connected to a power transmitting controller, and the power transmitting controller is electrically connected to a transmitting coil. The invention realizes the flexibility and rapidization of charging, improves charging efficiency, and saves charging pile resource.

The method of parking and charging the individual vehicle providing for reception by the control center of parking stations territorial network of information from the individual vehicle user about stop waypoints for vehicle parking and charging along his planned route, establishment of communication between the user and control unit of this parking station, mating the electric connector of the vehicle battery with the connector of the parking station parking/charging terminal, charging the battery and storage of the vehicle, testing the charged condition of the battery and operability of the electric vehicle, time control of vehicle connection/disconnection to/from parking terminal, provides mutual settlements between the user and parking operator, and also engages the lock to fix the vehicle at the parking terminal and disengages the lock to ensure use of the vehicle.

The present application discloses a charging method, an apparatus, a device, a medium, a battery management system and a charging pile. The method includes: acquiring a charging demand parameter set by a user; calculating, according to the charging demand parameter and acquired actual operation state information of a battery, a target charging scheme for charging the battery; transmitting, according to the target charging scheme, a first charging request to a charging device, so that the charging device charges the battery according to the first charging request. According to the charging method, the apparatus, the device, medium, the battery management system and the charging pile provided in the embodiments of the present application, personalized smart charging can be achieved for different users.

An ECU performs a process including: when a vehicle establishes a Ready-On state, selecting a CD mode; when discharging power is uncompleted and a scheduled time to return the vehicle is a time within a discharging period, setting a second target SOC as a mode switching value; and when the vehicle's power storage device has an SOC reaching the mode switching value and a surcharge imposed on a rental fee is unaccepted, switching the current control mode from the CD mode to a CS mode.
