Network based management for multiplexed electric vehicle charging

摘要

A system for multiplexing charging of electric vehicles, comprising a server coupled to a plurality of charging control modules over a network. Each of said charging modules being connected to a voltage source such that each charging control module is configured to regulate distribution of voltage from the voltage source to an electric vehicle coupled to the charging control module. Data collection and control software is provided on the server for identifying a plurality of electric vehicles coupled to the plurality of charging control modules and selectively distributing charging of the plurality of charging control modules to multiplex distribution of voltage to the plurality of electric vehicles.

主权项

1. A system for multiplexing charging of electric vehicles, comprising:
a server; said server remotely coupled to a charging control module over a wireless network for remotely controlling the charging control module over the wireless network; wherein said charging module comprises an input coupled to a voltage source; wherein each charging control module is configured to regulate distribution of voltage from the voltage source to an electric vehicle coupled to the charging control module; and software executable on said server for:
a) identifying an electric vehicle coupled to the charging control module; andb) selectively distributing charging of the charging control module to multiplex distribution of voltage between the electric vehicle coupled to the charging control module and one or more other electric vehicles coupled to the server.
