Systems and methods for chaining data between electric vehicles and electric vehicle stations are disclosed. In an example, an electric vehicle can share a charging profile with a charging station, and the charging station can share collective charging data with the electric vehicle. The collective charging data can include charging profile data electric vehicles which have previously charged at the charging station. Based on the shared data both the electric vehicle and the charging station can perform one or more functions based on the shared data.

A charging station for an electric vehicle determines that a first person is in proximity to the charging station and identifies whether the first person is a user of the charging station. In accordance with a determination that the first person is a user of the charging station, the charging station provides, using a first mode for selecting content for users of the charging station, first content for display. The charging station determines that a second person is in proximity to the charging station and identifies whether the second person is a user of the charging station. In accordance with the determination that the second person is not a user of the charging station, the charging station provides, using a second mode for selecting content distinct from the first mode for selecting content, second content for display. The second mode provides content for non-users of the charging station.

A method of controlling coasting of an eco-friendly vehicle includes: determining at least one effective event among deceleration events configured with a target speed in a forward driving path; setting a closest effective event based on a current position among the at least one effective event as a first candidate event; determining whether at least one second candidate event corresponding to an event needed to be followed is present among remaining effective events except for the first candidate event of the at least one effective event; and, when the at least one second candidate event is present, determining a target event among the first candidate event and the second candidate event in consideration of a control start point.

An information processing method includes: acquiring a weight of an electric mobile body; acquiring an amount of power consumption of the mobile body for each of numbers of one or more batteries mounted on the mobile body, the amount of power consumption being calculated based on the number of batteries; calculating a degradation cost of batteries for each of the numbers of the one or more batteries, the degradation cost being calculated based on the amount of power consumption and on the number of batteries; calculating a charging cost for each of the numbers of the one or more batteries, the charging cost being calculated based on the weight; and determining a number of batteries to be actually mounted on the mobile body, in accordance with the degradation cost and the charging cost, and outputting the number of batteries to be mounted.

A method and system for configuring an electric vehicle in preparation for a planned trip with a trailer are provided. The method includes obtaining, by a control device of the EV, a user request to perform a trip with the EV towing the trailer. The user request includes trailer configuration data specifying characteristics of the trailer and navigation data specifying characteristics of the planned trip. The method includes assessing a battery status of an electric battery of the EV with a battery management system of the EV being in communication with the control device and calculating with the control device operating settings for operating the electric battery on the trip of the EV towing the trailer based on the trailer configuration data and the navigation data.

Systems and methods for a computer-based process that optimizes vehicle fleet charging systems. Failed chargers are detected and optimal paths are determined between these failed chargers and available chargers. Upon determining the optimal path, instructions to route the vehicle from the failed chargers to available chargers via these shortest paths are then communicated.

A controlling portion of an information processing apparatus acquires information on the charged state of a vehicle for car sharing from the vehicle via a communication portion. In a case where the vehicle is to be parked in a predetermined parking lot, the controlling portion determines, based on the acquired information on the charged state, whether, among parking spots in the predetermined parking lot, the vehicle is to be parked in a parking spot equipped with the vehicle charger or the vehicle is to be parked in a parking spot not equipped with the vehicle charger.

A method for controlling cooling of a traction battery in an electric vehicle where the method comprises determining a battery temperature profile for a segment of a planned route based on route information describing a route from a starting point to a destination and based on a current battery status and determining a battery cooling profile for the segment of the route based on the battery temperature profile. By means of the route information and the state of the battery, the battery cooling profile can be determined in order to minimize the power required for cooling the battery. Since the route information can provide information relating to a range of parameters which influence the power consumption along the route, the cooling needs of the battery can also be estimated for the route as a whole.

A method for operating an electric charging device for an electrically drivable motor vehicle. The electric charging device has a ground unit for positioning in the ground and for generating an alternating magnetic field for an electric charging operation. The method includes sensing a motor vehicle within a predefined perimeter surrounding the ground unit; sensing a driving parameter value of at least one driving parameter of the sensed motor vehicle at at least one respective predefinable point in time; storing the at least one driving parameter value if an electric charging operation is carried out for the detected motor vehicle; determining a driving recommendation on the basis of the at least one sensed and stored driving parameter value; and transmitting the driving recommendation if another motor vehicle is sensed within the predefined perimeter surrounding the ground unit.

Techniques regarding parameterizing energy consumption of an electric vehicle are provided. For example, one or more embodiments described herein can comprise a system, which can comprise a memory that can store computer executable components. The system can also comprise a processor, operably coupled to the memory, and that can execute the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise a vehicle state estimation component that determines an operating condition experienced by a vehicle while traveling a route. Further, the system can comprise an energy consumption component that parametrizes an amount of energy expended by the vehicle while traveling the route based on a loss table that is populated with an energy consumption value derived from historic operation of the vehicle at the operating condition.
