  • Patent number: 8378627
    Abstract: Chargers are connectable with vehicles. An electric supply controller controls a switching circuit to connect an electric power supply line to one of the chargers. A storage unit of the electric supply controller associates information on a priority to each of the vehicles and stores the associated information therein. When the vehicles are simultaneously connected to different chargers, a control unit of the electric supply controller controls the switching circuit to connect the electric power supply line preferentially to one of the different chargers. The one of the different chargers is connected to one of the vehicles assigned with a highest priority.

  • Publication number: 20120007554
    Abstract: A vehicular charge apparatus for externally charging an in-vehicle battery of a vehicle includes a charger. The charger includes an in-charger detection section, which detects a charge needed state of a subject vehicle prior to a charge connection of a charger connector of the charger to an in-vehicle charge inlet of the subject vehicle. In the charge needed state, an electric charge is necessary for the vehicle. When the charge needed state of the subject vehicle is determined, a charger controller of the charger begins a charge preparation operation needed in the charger while transmitting charge information that indicates that the subject vehicle is in the charge needed state via an in-charger communicator to an in-vehicle communicator. When the in-vehicle communicator receives the charge information, a charge preparation section of the subject vehicle begins a charge preparation operation necessary in the subject vehicle.
