  • Publication number: 20240083269
    Abstract: A charge coupler with integrated electrical and mechanical disconnect switching can include a first member. A charging coupler can include a first member and a second member. The second member can be coupled at a first end with the first member. A charging coupler can include a first switch disposed at the first member and operable to cause, in response to a movement of the second member to a first angle with the first member that engages the first switch, a charging device to electrically decouple the charging device from a vehicle. A charging coupler can include a second switch disposed at the first member and operable to cause, in response to a movement of the second member to a second angle with the first member that engages the second switch, the charging device to mechanically decouple the charging device from the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20240051424
    Abstract: A data processing system can receive, from a plurality of electric vehicles (EVs), data on a plurality of charging stations. The data can include first data on availability of the charging stations and second data on performance of the charging stations captured by the plurality of EVs via a plurality of power cables coupled with the charging stations. The system can determine, based on the data, availability of a charging station of the plurality of charging stations. The system can determine, based on the data captured via a power cable of the plurality of power cables, performance of the charging station. The system can generate, based on the availability and the performance, a score for the charging station and provide, based on a comparison of the score with a second score for a second charging station of the plurality of charging stations, an indication corresponding to the charging station.
