REGIONAL CHARGING CONTROL SERVICE
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving demand response event data associated with a geographic region;
determining a last-mile distribution network that includes a first endpoint in the geographic region, the first endpoint associated with a mobile client device;
estimating one or more last-mile power usage factors describing power usage of a set of endpoints in the last-mile distribution network, the set of endpoints including the first endpoint associated with the mobile client device; and
determining, by a processor-based computing device programmed to perform the determining, a charge schedule for the mobile client device based on the demand response event data and the one or more last-mile power usage factors.

Abstract
The disclosure includes a system and method for providing charging services to mobile client devices. The system includes a processor and a memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the system to: receive demand response event data associated with a geographic region; determine a last-mile distribution network that includes a first endpoint in the geographic region, the first endpoint associated with a mobile client device; estimate one or more last-mile power usage factors describing power usage of a set of endpoints in the last-mile distribution network, the set of endpoints including the first endpoint associated with the mobile client device; and determine a charge schedule for the mobile client device based on the demand response event data and the one or more last-mile power usage factors.
