  • Method and system for charging of electric vehicles
    Patent number: 9148027
    Abstract: A method for charging plurality of electric vehicles is provided. The method includes determining predicted usage information for the plurality of electric vehicles based on past information for the plurality of vehicles. The predicted usage information, among other information, includes a first total energy needed to be provided to the plurality of vehicles to reach a respective desired state of charge set point. The method further includes optimizing power to be provided to the plurality of vehicles to generate an optimal power requirement plan based on a first cost incurred to charge the vehicles with the first total energy. Furthermore, the method includes scheduling charging of the plurality of vehicles through at least one charging station according to the optimal power requirement plan and a priority associated with each of the plurality of vehicles.
