  • Patent number: 9490640
    Abstract: A temperature monitoring vehicle charger cord assembly includes a wall plug; a pair of power prongs carried by the wall plug; at least one thermal sensor carried by the wall plug, the at least one thermal sensor adapted to monitor a charging temperature; a battery electric vehicle electrical plug; and a microprocessor electrically interfacing with the power prongs, the at least one thermal sensor and the battery electric vehicle electrical plug. The microprocessor is programmed to perform at least one of terminating electrical current and reducing amperes of electrical current flowing from the pair of power prongs to the battery electric vehicle electrical plug if the charging temperature at least meets a predetermined maximum threshold charging temperature. A temperature monitoring vehicle charging method is also disclosed.
