  • Patent number: 12043243
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an electric vehicle and more particularly, to a system for reducing charging time of the electric vehicle when an occupant decides to wait in their vehicle while their vehicle is charging. In one illustrative embodiment, a vehicle system within the electric vehicle may determine whether the electric vehicle is charging. The vehicle system may then determine whether an occupant is within the electric vehicle. This may be performed through a number of systems such as an in-vehicle camera or seat sensor. At least one function may be reduced or removed when an occupant has been detected thus making their stay uncomfortable. Sound, for example, may be reduced while the occupant is detected in the vehicle and the vehicle is charging. Similarly, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning functions may be removed.
