BUDDY CHARGING FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES
First Claim
1. A system for charging power source of a recipient electric vehicle using an accelerated charge flow from a power source of a donor vehicle, the system comprising;
- recipient power source provided with an accessible recipient charge receptacle;
donor power source provided with an extendable donor charge receptacle adapted to resiliently engage the recipient charge receptacle;
a pack controller, in each donor and recipient vehicle, electrically connected to the acceptor and donor power sources and adapted to combine the functions of a battery pack protection circuit, battery charger, current and voltage regulator, a data monitor and a communication circuit associated with the charge transfer from the donor to acceptor vehicle facilitating regulated and informed power transfer; and
a buck-booster electrically connected to the recipient and donor receptacles of the battery in each vehicle, configured to balance relative electrical potentials of the donor to the recipient vehicle.
