Patent number: 12221010Abstract: Dynamic allocation of power modules for charging electric vehicles is described herein. The charging system includes multiple dispensers that each include one or more power modules that can supply power to any one of the dispensers at a time. A dispenser includes a first power bus that is switchably connected to one or more local power modules and switchably connected to one or more power modules located remotely in another dispenser. The one or more local power modules are switchably connected to a second power bus in the other dispenser. The dispenser includes a control unit that is to cause the local power modules and the remote power modules to switchably connect and disconnect from the first power bus to dynamically allocate the power modules between the dispenser and the other dispenser.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2023Date of Patent: February 11, 2025Assignee: CHARGEPOINT, INC.Inventors: Richard J. Quattrini, Jr., Peter Vaughan, David Baxter, Carl F. Hagenmaier, Jr., Patrick Kien Tran, Craig T. Matsuno, Gary A. Eldridge, Pasquale Romano

Patent number: 12005796Abstract: An electric vehicle charging station that uses a liquid cooled charging cable is described. The charging station includes a charging port that is configured to connect to a liquid cooled charging cable. The liquid cooled charging cable includes a cooling loop where a return side of the cooling loop is a warm side. The charging station includes a heat exchanger that transfers heat from the warm side of the cooling loop. The charging station includes a pump to pump a cool side of the liquid through the cooling loop. The charging station includes a module that causes the following to be performed in response to a startup sequence of the electric vehicle charging station: iteratively perform operations of operating the pump at increasing speeds and measuring corresponding pressure output until the speed of the pump is at its normal capacity.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2021Date of Patent: June 11, 2024Assignee: CHARGEPOINT, INC.Inventor: Peter Vaughan

Publication number: 20230117407Abstract: A first dispenser receives a request to initiate charging service for charging an electric vehicle. The first dispenser determines an amount of power that is available for the charging service for charging the electric vehicle including determining an availability status of multiple power modules that are located in the first dispenser and a second dispenser. The first dispenser determines whether the available amount of power is enough to meet a requested or determined amount of power draw of the electric vehicle. If the available amount of power is not enough to meet the requested or determined amount of power draw of the electric vehicle, and if there is at least one of the power modules that is available, the first dispenser requests allocation of the available power module and charging service commences.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2021Publication date: April 20, 2023Inventors: Richard J. Quattrini, Peter Vaughan, David Baxter, Carl F. Hagenmaier, Patrick Kien Tran, Craig T. Matsuno, Gary A. Eldridge, Pasquale Romano
