METHOD FOR MANAGING ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING LOADS ON A LOCAL ELECTRIC POWER INFRASTRUCTURE
First Claim
1. A method for managing electrical charging of an electrical energy storage device for a subject vehicle using electric power originating from a stationary source of electrical power, the method comprising:
- providing a database including respective geographic locations of a plurality of electric power distribution subsystems;
receiving a request from the subject vehicle for electric charging power;
resolving a geographic location of the subject vehicle to a subset of the plurality of electric power distribution subsystems;
determining an electric power reserve capacity for each electric power distribution subsystem in the subset of the plurality of electric power distribution subsystems; and
allocating a magnitude of electric power for charging the subject vehicle based upon the electric power reserve capacity for each electric power distribution subsystem in the subset of the plurality of electric power distribution subsystems.
