Publication number: 20220032793Abstract: In some embodiments, the system and method may access a request to charge an electric vehicle at a specific charging station, identify a charging network (e.g., one of multiple, disparate charging networks) associated with the specific charging station, and automatically provide payment information to the charging network via a payment protocol associated with the charging network. The charging interface system, therefore, may facilitate access to any charging network and/or charging station by providing an interface between a driver of an electric vehicle and one of many charging networks.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 13, 2021Publication date: February 3, 2022Inventors: Nick WILD, Lucas MANFIELD, Armen PETROSIAN, Forrest NORTH

Publication number: 20210096582Abstract: A grid to vehicle system is described. In some examples, the system selectively controls one or more electric vehicles connected to an electric grid based on conditions associated with the electric grid. For example, the system may control charging operations of the electric vehicles based on load balancing conditions associated with the electric grid, based on cost conditions associated with electric power provided by the electric grid, and so on.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2020Publication date: April 1, 2021Inventors: Forrest NORTH, Armen PETROSIAN, Lucas MANFIELD
