  • Patent number: 11192466
    Abstract: An electric charge management device for a vehicle includes a display screen and circuitry. The circuitry sets a first threshold value for a first discharge level of a battery of the vehicle. The first discharge level is greater than a zero state of charge (SOC) of the battery. The circuitry sets a second threshold value for a second discharge level of the battery based on first information associated with the vehicle and/or a user of the vehicle. The circuitry determines a first energy cost for an energy amount between the second discharge level and a current SOC of the battery. The circuitry controls the vehicle to transfer the energy amount to an external electric power system, which is different from the electric charge management device, based on the determined first energy cost.

  • Patent number: 11170406
    Abstract: A system for battery electric vehicle driving analysis is provided. The system includes a vehicle including a plurality of sensors. The vehicle is configured to transmit a plurality of sensor information observed by the plurality of sensors. The system also includes a driver analysis computer device including at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device. The driver analysis computer device is programmed to receive the plurality of sensor information from the vehicle. The plurality of sensor information includes information for a plurality of days. The driver analysis computer device is also programmed to determine, for each day of the plurality of days, a daily driving distance of the vehicle based on the plurality of sensor information, compare the plurality of daily driving distances to a first threshold, and transmit one or more advertisements for a new vehicle based on the comparison.

  • Patent number: 10836272
    Abstract: In an illustrative embodiment, and to remove overall peak demand, a dealership energy management system may include bi-directional charging devices that may be associated with inventory vehicles and output devices that may be associated with customer vehicles. Inventory may be processed and associated with days stored at the dealership. The inventory vehicles may be charged up to 60% during off-peak hours to provide charge to incoming customer vehicles during peak hours. The inventory vehicles may discharge down to 40%, while providing charge to the customer vehicles, before another vehicle within the inventory is selected to provide charge. Inventory vehicles may be charged and discharged based on the days stored at the dealership as well as whether those vehicles have been discharged below a threshold.
