PERSONALIZED CHARGING MANAGEMENT FOR A VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A configurable energy management system for recharging an electric vehicle comprising:
- an energy storage device for storing energy;
an in-vehicle renewable energy source for generating electrical energy for recharging the in-vehicle energy storage device;
at least one off-vehicle renewable energy source for providing electrical energy to the vehicle for recharging the in-vehicle energy storage device;
a vehicle communication module for transmitting and receiving data;
an integration module for integrating in-vehicle energy parameter data, in-vehicle renewable energy parameter data, off-vehicle renewable energy parameter data, user parameter data, and web-based data; and
a user interface device for communicating with the vehicle communication module and the integration module, the user interface device communicating the user parameter data to the integration module, the user parameter data includes a prioritization of preferential parameters in re-charging the in-vehicle energy storage device, wherein the preferential parameters include at least one of a time-based index, a cost-based index, and a green index;
wherein the integration module identifies an optimal energy source for re-charging the vehicle based on the in-vehicle energy parameter data, in-vehicle renewable energy parameter data, off-vehicle renewable energy parameter data, user parameter data, and the web-based data.

Abstract
A configurable energy management system for recharging an electric vehicle. An in-vehicle renewable energy source generates electrical energy for recharging an in-vehicle energy storage device. The at least one off-vehicle renewable energy source provides electrical energy to the vehicle for recharging the in-vehicle energy storage device. A vehicle communication module transmits and receives data. An integration module integrates in-vehicle energy parameter data, in-vehicle renewable energy parameter data, off-vehicle renewable energy parameter data, user parameter data, and web-based data. A user interface device communicates user parameter data to the integration module. The user parameter data includes a prioritization of preferential parameters in re-charging the in-vehicle energy storage device. The integration module identifies an optimal energy source for re-charging the vehicle based on the in-vehicle energy parameter data, in-vehicle renewable energy parameter data, off-vehicle renewable energy parameter data, user parameter data, and the web-based data.
