  • Assistance system and method for the positioning of an electric vehicle relative to a charging station, charging station and electric vehicle implementing said method
    Patent number: 10471835
    Abstract: A method for assisting the positioning of an electric vehicle, provided with energy storage structure, with respect to a recharging station the electric vehicle and the recharging station being arranged in order to form between them a temporary electromechanical coupling allowing a transfer of electrical energy from the recharging station to the storage structure. This method includes, at the level of the recharging station, a phase of detecting a positioning of the electric vehicle that is suitable for a temporary coupling, and at the level of the vehicle, a phase of transmitting a charging command to the station, processing the charging command by the station being conditional on the detection of the positioning and controlling the forming of a temporary coupling, then a transfer of energy.
