20200269721, Aug 27, 2020

Filed:

May 8, 2020

Appl. No.:

16/870456

Inventors:

- JUNO BEACH FL, US
Daniel M. Brake - HOBE SOUND FL, US
Prasanna Shrivastava - PALM BEACH GARDENS FL, US
Christopher S. Collins - NORTH PALM BEACH FL, US

International Classification:

B60L 58/13
B60K 6/20
G06Q 50/06
G06Q 20/14
B60L 55/00
B60L 53/66

Abstract:

A non-transitory machine readable medium having machine executable instructions can include a charge control application. The charge control application can determine, in response to detecting that an electric vehicle (EV) is electrically coupled to a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) interface, a degradation threshold state of charge (SoC) for a battery of the EV. The charge control application can also command the V2G interface to discharge the battery of the EV to a lower threshold SoC that is below the degradation threshold SoC. The charge control application can further command the V2G interface to charge the battery of the EV to an upper threshold SoC that is above the degradation threshold SoC at a return threshold time, wherein the return threshold time is a calculated amount of time prior to an expected return time of an operator of the EV.
