Embodiment Construction

[0011] While the invention may be embodied in various forms, some exemplary and non-limiting embodiments are shown in the drawings and will be described below, it should be understood that this disclosure should be considered as exemplary of the invention and is not intended to be The invention is limited to the specific embodiments described.

[0012] Electric vehicles are often charged while drivers are parked and running errands. The locations of electric vehicle charging stations are parking lots and parking buildings so that electric vehicles can be charged. Due to the limited number of parking spaces including charging stations for electric vehicles and the increase in the number of electric vehicles, it is important to use these parking spaces efficiently. Efficient use of parking spaces includes parking electric vehicles in parking spaces and charging them as much as possible. However, when a non-electric vehicle, a charged electric vehicle, or an unplugged electric ...

Abstract

Method and apparatus are disclosed for electric vehicle charging station parking spot monitoring system. An example electric vehicle charging station includes a communication module, sensors, and a charge controller. The communication module communicatively couples to a vehicle parked in a parking spot associated with the charging station. The sensors monitor the parking spot. The charge controller receives identifying information and battery information from the vehicle parked in the parking spot, and when the vehicle is not eligible for charging, sends the identifying information of the vehicle to a parking enforcement authority.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to electric vehicle charging stations, and more particularly to electric vehicle charging station parking space monitoring systems. Background technique [0002] Charging stations are often located in parking buildings and parking lots to provide charging to electric vehicles. While the number of available charging stations is increasing, typically a parking lot or parking building will only have a few parking spaces with access to a charging station. When a non-electric vehicle is parked at an electric vehicle charging bay, the charging station is not in use and cannot be used to charge the electric vehicle. In some jurisdictions, it is illegal to park in a parking space designated for electric vehicles if the parked car is not an electric vehicle. Contents of the invention [0003] The following claims define the application. This disclosure summarizes aspects of the embodiments, and should not be used to...
