Abstract
Embodiments include apparatus and methods for implementing lane charging for a roadway. A road segment in a geographic region is identified from a geographic database. The road segment may be identified based on the geographic position of a vehicle. A lane charging management device receives real time data related to the vehicle, the environment, or the electricity associated with the charging station. A lane charging command for a charging device associated with the road segment is generated in response to the real time data.
