  • Patent number: 11907978
    Abstract: Subscription-based electric vehicle charging management methods and systems are provided. A server receives charging request with at least a user identification code from an electric vehicle charging station or a mobile device through a network. The server searches a database according to the user identification code to obtain contract situation corresponding to the user identification code and determines whether the contract situation is in a contract expiration status or an arrears unpaid status. When the contract situation is not in the contract expiration status or the arrears unpaid status, the server instructs the electric vehicle charging station to perform a charging operation. When the contract situation is in the contract expiration status or the arrears unpaid status, the server transmits a charging rejection instruction to the electric vehicle charging station. In response to the charging rejection instruction, the electric vehicle charging station rejects the charging request.

  • Publication number: 20230062237
    Abstract: Management methods and systems for electric vehicle charging equipment are provided. An application program of a mobile device scans a quick response code of an electric vehicle charging equipment to send a binding request to a server via a first network. In response to the binding request, the server determines whether the electric vehicle charging equipment has been bound to any account. When the electric vehicle charging equipment is not bound to any account, the server provides an interface to the mobile device to set account information. The server creates a specific account based on the account information, and sets the electric vehicle charging equipment to only accept a charging request from the specific account, wherein the application program is linked to the specific account.

  • Publication number: 20230034684
    Abstract: Electric vehicle charging management methods and systems capable of integrating multiple identities are provided. First, a mobile device executes an application, and selects a first identity account from a plurality of identity accounts through the application. Then, a first charging request is generated according to the first identity account and a first charging station, and the first charging request is transmitted to the server via a network through the mobile device or the first charging station. In response to the first charging request, the server instructs the first charging station to perform a first charging operation via the network. Thereafter, the server continuously obtains first charging state information of the first charging operation from the first charging station via the network, and calculates a first charging fee associated with the first identity account based on the first charging state information.

  • Publication number: 20220410756
    Abstract: Electric vehicle charging management methods and systems with flexible adjustment of charging schedule are provided. A server executes an energy management scheme to determine a target power parameter value for a charging operation of each electric vehicle charging station, and perform the charging operations accordingly for respective electric vehicles. A specific charging demand of a specific electric vehicle charging station or a specific electric vehicle is received, wherein the specific charging demand includes at least a demand time. In response to the specific charging demand, the target power parameter value corresponding to the charging operation of the specific electric vehicle charging station is adjusted, wherein the power of the specific electric vehicle at the time of demand will be higher than a predetermined power value.

  • Publication number: 20220410758
    Abstract: Electric vehicle charging management methods and systems are provided. A server performs a charging scheduling operation for each electric vehicle charging station to determine a specific time point for each electric vehicle charging station to perform a charging operation in which the charging operation is to charge an electric vehicle coupled with the electric vehicle charging station. When the charging operation corresponding to each electric vehicle charging station is being performed, each electric vehicle charging station transmits charging information corresponding to the charging operation to the server through a network.

  • Publication number: 20220412757
    Abstract: Route management methods and systems for electric vehicles are provided. First, a driving monitoring system of an electric vehicle is used to detect a driving state of the electric vehicle. Then, the driving state is transmitted to the server via a network by the driving monitoring system. The server performs an analysis according to the driving state to obtain a driving behavior index of a driver corresponding to the electric vehicle. Then, a plurality of routes are provided in the server, wherein each route includes a plurality of stations, and average distance between two stations. The server selects one of the routes according to the driving behavior index, and assigns the selected route to the driver of the electric vehicle.
