First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of managing an electric power demand in one or more electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, the method comprising:
- determining a target power usage amount for the one or more EV charging stations;
determining whether an electric power usage control is required, based on the target power usage amount and an electric power usage amount in the one or more EV charging stations;
adjusting a charging condition including charging levels and a charging price per charging level when the electric power usage control is required; and
providing the adjusted charging condition to corresponding EV users.
