Vehicle-to-Grid Control
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for storing electrical charge in an electric vehicle connected to a charging station, the method comprising:
- attaining a minimum State of Charge (SOC) for the electric vehicle;
determining a time to charge the electric vehicle to a maximum SOC;
maintaining an electric vehicle SOC by repeatedly charging and allowing discharge of the electric vehicle between the minimum SOC and a threshold; and
charging the electric vehicle to the maximum SOC when the determined time to charge the electric vehicle to a maximum SOC has elapsed,wherein the threshold is greater than the minimum SOC and the maximum SOC is greater than or equal to the threshold.
