Optimum charging for electric-based vehicle
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for controlling charging for a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving from the vehicle a record reflecting a driving routine of the vehicle over a period of time, the record including departure times of the vehicle and times of the vehicle spent in-home;
analyzing the departure times of the vehicle and the times of the vehicle spent in-home to determine one or more probabilities associated with the departure times and the times spent in-home;
estimating one or more tendency parameters based at least in part on the probabilities associated with the departure times and the times spent in-home, each of the one or more tendency parameters reflecting an estimation for a regular daily driving behavior of the vehicle; and
determining a charging setting based at least in part on the one or more tendency parameters, the charging setting comprising a target state of charge (SoC) for a battery.

Abstract
A system and method for controlling charging for a vehicle is disclosed. The system comprises a statistical analyzer, an estimation module and a determination module. The statistical analyzer analyzes a set of data describing utility rate information and one or more behaviors of the vehicle. The estimation module estimates one or more tendency parameters based at least in part on the analyzing. The determination module determines a charging setting based at least in part on the one or more tendency parameters. The charging setting comprises one or more of a target charging battery state of charge (SoC), a charging start time and a charging end time.
