  • Systems, methods, and apparatus related to electric vehicle parking and wireless charging
    Patent number: 9971353
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are disclosed for parking and wireless power transfer and communication of messages in a parking and charging system. In one aspect, an apparatus for parking a vehicle for receiving charging in a parking and charging system is provided. The apparatus includes an antenna configured to wirelessly receive information identifying a location of one or more charging stations. The apparatus further includes a user interface configured to display information identifying at least one of the one or more charging stations. The apparatus further includes a controller configured to cause a communication link to be established between the vehicle with and at least one identified charging station.

  • Electric vehicle wireless charging with monitoring of duration of charging operational mode
    Patent number: 9931952
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are disclosed for electric vehicle wireless charging. In one aspect, a method of transferring wireless power to an electric vehicle is provided, including initiating a charging cycle comprising at least one initialization state during which a wireless power link sufficient for charging is established between the wireless power transfer system and the electric vehicle and at least one charging state during which wireless power transfer from the wireless power transfer system to the electric vehicle is performed. The method further includes generating a first timestamp indicating a start time of the wireless power transfer in response to entering the at least one charging state and generating a second timestamp indicating an end time of the wireless power transfer.
