Abstract

Methods and systems are disclosed for authorizing operation of an electric vehicle that is being charged at a charging station. A computer can determine whether predefined criteria relating to the electric vehicle have been satisfied, and, if so, communicates a virtual key to the electric vehicle. The virtual key allows the electric vehicle to be operated in a limited operating mode that defines constraints on operating the vehicle. The virtual key allows the electric vehicle to be operated in the limited operating mode without a physical key or fob being present at the electric vehicle. The electric vehicle includes a processor configured to receive the virtual key and to control operation of the electric vehicle according to the constraints defined by the virtual key.

Description

technical field [0001] TECHNICAL FIELD The field relates generally to vehicles and, more particularly, to methods, systems, and apparatus for authorizing operation of an electric vehicle charging at a charging station in the absence of the owner. Background technique [0002] In recent years, electric vehicles (EVs), including hybrid electric vehicles, have become increasingly popular. Such electric vehicles must be charged when the charge level of their batteries becomes low. While many people charge their electric vehicles at home, they also sometimes use public charging stations to charge their electric vehicles. Unfortunately, such charging stations are not readily available. Furthermore, even when public charging stations are available, they may not suffice in many situations. At any given moment, the number of electric vehicles wanting to use a charging station is greater than the number of charging stations available. [0003] Furthermore, because it can take a si...
