Systems and method for charging the battery of an electric vehicle (EV) and climatically controlling the inside cabin of the electric vehicle are described. The methods include detecting that an EV is electrically connected to a charging station and then determining the current temperature inside the EV. Climatic user preferences can be retrieved and used to determine a desired climate inside the cabin when the user returns to the vehicle. Using the desired climate inside the cabin to determine an estimated charge, where the estimated charge is sufficient to both obtain the desired climate inside the cabin by the time the users return and have the battery of the vehicle charged to an acceptable level.

Various disclosed embodiments include illustrative control units, systems, and vehicles. In an illustrative embodiment, a control unit includes a processor and computer-readable media that stores computer-executable instructions configured to cause the processor to determine a reserve level for a battery of an electric vehicle, determine activation status of electrical equipment in the electric vehicle responsive the reserve level and a battery level, and control supply of power from the battery to the electrical equipment responsive to the activation status.

Systems and methods for charging electric vehicles and for quantitative and qualitative load balancing of electrical demand are provided.

Systems and methods for charging electric vehicles utilizing Graphical User Interface (GUI) elements.

A computing device for determining a revised flight plan as a function of battery temperature in an electric aircraft is disclosed. The computing device includes a battery model that may receive a flight plan and communicate with a machine-learning model, which may be trained as a function of a training set correlating data describing the flight plan to battery temperature labels. The battery model may generate a temperature output using the machine-learning model and determine the revised flight plan using the machine-learning model if the temperature output exceeds a threshold temperature. The computing device may receive the temperature output from the battery model and compare the temperature output to the threshold temperature.

A method for managing state of charge of a battery of an electric work vehicle to be ready to return to work at a return to work time. Data comprising an expected date and time of return to work is obtained from the output of a user interface and used to calculate an expected duration of immobilization of the electric work vehicle. A charge rate is determined based on the expected duration of immobilization of the work vehicle and a targeted charge increase. A charging start time is calculated such that at the return to work time an actual state of charge of the battery is a target operational state of charge value. The temperature of the battery is adjusted such that the battery is at a target temperature at the charging start time. The charge cycle is started at the charging start time.

A method is disclosed for controlling a charge transfer of an electric vehicle using an electric vehicle charging station, a mobile device, and a cloud server. The method includes receiving, at a mobile device, a message for an electric vehicle of a user from the electric vehicle charging station, wherein a user of the mobile device is associated with the electric vehicle to be charged. The method also includes receiving the charging control signal from the cloud server via the mobile device at the electric vehicle charging station in response to authorizing a charging control signal using identification information and credit account information received from the mobile device, wherein the charging control signal is configured to adjust a parameter used to draw electric power from the electric vehicle charging station.

A vehicle control system may, during a deactivated state of the vehicle, generate a wake up signal, and responsive to a current or voltage associated with the wake up signal being outside a predetermined range, activate an ignition relay of the vehicle for a predefined period of time. The vehicle control system may further, responsive to a request to activate the vehicle, activate the ignition relay.

Systems and methods for charging electric vehicles and for bi-directional, reverse, and cooperative charging of electric vehicles.

An electric vehicle charging station network server that manages a plurality of charging stations receives subscriber notification message preferences for a subscriber (e.g., electric vehicle operator) that indicate one or more events of interest for which the subscriber wishes to receive notification messages. A set of one or more contact points associated with the subscriber is also received. The server receives data associated with the subscriber that indicates that a charging session at one of the charging stations has been established for an electric vehicle associated with the subscriber. The server detects an event of interest for the subscriber and transmits a notification message for that event to at least one of the set of contact points associated with the subscriber.
