Method and apparatus for providing charging state alerts
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- a processor configured to;
determine vehicle charging-state interruption; and
notify, based on a current charge being below a desired total charge and a determination that a vehicle charging state has not resumed, a user, of the interruption, after a predetermined amount of time has passed and before a time after which a desired charge can no longer be obtained prior to an expected usage time determined based on previously observed user behavior.

Abstract
A computer implemented method includes determining whether a time of day corresponds to a charging window, responsive to a determination that a vehicle is in a non-charging state. The method also includes retrieving a start time and charge requirement for an upcoming journey. The method further includes determining if sufficient time remains to charge a vehicle to the charge requirement, responsive to a determination that the time of day corresponds to the charging window. Also, the method includes alerting a user to the non-charging state, responsive to a determination that insufficient time remains to charge the vehicle to the charge requirement.
