ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGE SCHEDULING METHOD AND CHARGE SCHEDULING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method for battery charge scheduling for an electric vehicle by using a station control network formed by a plurality of station control devices which control a battery charge facility equipped in a battery charge station to mutually exchange information among the plurality of station control devices which is cooperatively associated with one another and an in-vehicle information device equipped in the electric vehicle for information exchange with the station control network, the method comprising the steps ofa position confirming step for confirming a current position of the electric vehicle by the in-vehicle information device;
- a candidate battery charge station obtaining step for listing up candidate battery charge stations based on the current position of the electric vehicle and obtaining information including position of the candidate battery charge station and information including a waiting time and a battery charge cost of a candidate battery charge facility located in a corresponding candidate battery charge station from the station control network into the in-vehicle information device;
a candidate battery charge station displaying step for displaying the information of the candidate battery charge stations and the information of the candidate battery charge facilities by the in-vehicle information device;
a candidate battery charge station selecting step for selecting a candidate battery charge station at which a battery charge is desired to be carried out and setting a selected candidate battery charge station in the in-vehicle information device; and
a battery charge reserving step for reserving the battery charge at the candidate battery charge station through the station control network based on a setting at the candidate battery charge station selecting step through the in-vehicle information device.

Abstract
A method for battery charge scheduling for an electric vehicle including a position confirming step for confirming a position of the vehicle, a candidate station obtaining step for obtaining information on position of the candidate battery charge station, a waiting time and a battery charge cost, a candidate battery charge station displaying step for displaying the information of the candidate battery charge stations, a candidate battery charge station selecting step for selecting a candidate battery charge station at which a battery charge is desired to be carried out and a battery charge reserving step for reserving the battery charge at the candidate battery charge station through the station control network based on a setting at the candidate battery charge station selecting step through the in-vehicle information device. By this method, user convenience is improved and actual risks and mental anxieties derived from low battery charge can be relieved or removed.
