Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for charging an electric vehicle connected to a charging station, the method comprising:
- identifying information of electric energy provided by the charging station;
initiating charging of the vehicle, the charging including the charging station providing electric energy to the vehicle;
halting the charging of the vehicle responsive to a state of charge of the vehicle reaching a minimum state of charge that is less than a full charge capacity of the vehicle;
determining a time for reinitiating the charging of the vehicle based on the identified information; and
reinitiating the charging of the vehicle at the determined time.

Abstract
The charging of an electric vehicle connected to a charging station is initiated. When a state of charge of the vehicle reaches a minimum state of charge, the charging is halted. The minimum state of charge is less than the full charge capacity of the vehicle. A time for reinitiating the charging is determined. The charging of the vehicle is reinitiated at the determined time.
