Maintaining Electrical Vehicle Recharging Station Data
First Claim
1. A method for maintaining a recharging station database for electricity powered vehicles based upon recharging event data provided by a population of electric vehicles equipped with telematics units, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving, by a telematics server, recharging event information corresponding to a recharging event at an identified recharging station; and
if an entry corresponding to the identified recharging station cannot he identified in the recharging station database, then creating a new database entry for the identified recharging station.

Abstract
Maintaining an electricity powered vehicle recharging database is described where updating is based on recharging information provided by a subscriber via a telematics unit on the electric vehicle relating to a recharge event. Maintaining the database is carried out by receiving an indication that a recharge event has occurred, receiving additional information pertaining to the recharge event, comparing the recharge event information with recharge information for a previous recharge event stored in the database. Based upon the received information and comparison to existing information stored in the database, the received, information is used to conditionally update the information maintained in the database maintained by the telematics service provider.

11. A method for maintaining a recharging station database for electricity powered vehicles based upon recharging event data provided by a population of electric vehicles equipped with telematics units, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving, by a telematics server, recharging event information corresponding to a recharging event; based on the recharging event information, identifying a recharging station where the recharging event occurred for which information was previously stored in the d s comparing, by the telematics server, the recharging event information to information previously stored in the recharging station database for the identified recharging station; conditionally updating, based upon the comparing step, the recharging station database to include the received recharging information; and providing, by the telematics server, access to recharging station information stored within the recharging station database. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer executable instructions for maintaining a recharging station database for electricity powered vehicles based upon recharging event data provided by a population of electric vehicles equipped with telematics units, the computer-executable instructions facilitating performing the steps of:
-
receiving, by a telematics server, recharging event information corresponding to a recharging event at an identified recharging station; and if an entry corresponding to the identified recharging station cannot be identified in the recharging station database, then creating a new database entry for the identified recharging station.
