Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of charging piles, and in particular to a method, product, device and medium for charging a plug-and-play charging pile. Background Art

[0002] With the popularization of electric vehicles, the number of charging piles open to the public and operated by the public continues to increase to meet the charging needs of the majority of electric vehicle owners.

[0003] Existing authentication methods for charging stations primarily rely on card swiping and mobile phone code scanning. Card swiping requires the owner to carry a specific card and swipe it before charging. This requires a card swipe for each charge, increasing operational complexity. Another authentication method is mobile phone code scanning. The owner scans a QR code on the charging station, accesses the payment page, and completes payment, at which point the charging station begins charging the electric vehicle. However, both methods require a card swipe or mobile phone code scanning, making the process more complex. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the problem of complex operation of charging electric vehicles through charging piles in the prior art, the present application provides a plug-and-play charging pile charging method, product, equipment and medium.

[0005] In the first aspect, the present application provides a plug-and-play charging pile charging method, which adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A plug-and-play charging pile charging method, comprising:

[0007] When the charging pile is detected to be connected to the electric vehicle, the VIN code of the electric vehicle is obtained and the charging preparation process is started at the same time;

[0008] Verifying whether the VIN code is legal; if the VIN code is legal, receiving the charging setting information in the charging preparation process, and charging the electric vehicle according to the charging setting information;

[0009] During the charging process of the electric vehicle, acquiring charging data of the electric vehicle in real time;

[0010] Dynamic charging progress information is generated based on the charging data and the charging setting information, the dynamic charging progress information is sent to the central control device of the electric vehicle for display, and the account bound to the VIN code is deducted after charging is completed.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, monitoring the connection between the charging pile and the electric vehicle and obtaining the vehicle identification code (VIN code) of the electric vehicle, the uniqueness and legitimacy of the charging object can be confirmed, and unauthorized or illegal vehicles can be effectively prevented from accessing the charging pile for charging, thereby improving the safety of the charging process. Verifying the legitimacy of the VIN code is an important step to ensure that charging services are only open to legal vehicles, which helps to prevent potential fraud. Once the electric vehicle is correctly connected to the charging pile and the VIN code is verified, the charging preparation process is automatically started, reducing the manual operation steps of the user and improving the convenience of charging. The charging setting information allows users to flexibly set charging parameters according to their own needs, obtain the charging data of the electric vehicle in real time, and generate dynamic charging progress information based on this data, which is fed back to the central control device of the electric vehicle for display in real time, allowing car owners to intuitively understand the charging status and enhance the transparency and controllability of the charging process. After charging is completed, the account bound to the VIN code is automatically deducted, which simplifies the payment process, avoids the need for users to pay manually or worry about forgetting to pay, and improves the overall user experience.

[0012] In a preferred example, the present application may be further configured as follows: the charging preparation process is started, including:

[0013] Sending charging setting options to the central control device of the electric vehicle, the charging setting options including charging time setting, full charge setting and driving destination setting, so that the owner of the electric vehicle selects any one of the charging time setting, full charge setting and driving destination setting to set, thereby generating charging setting information.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solutions, car owners can choose appropriate charging settings according to their actual needs, providing a variety of charging setting options, making the charging process more personalized and convenient. Users are no longer limited to a single charging mode, but can adjust it according to their preferences and actual conditions, thereby improving the overall user experience.

[0015] In a preferred example, the present application may be further configured as follows: when the charging setting information is a charging duration setting, the charging setting information includes a planned charging duration;

[0016] Generating dynamic charging progress information based on the charging data and the charging setting information includes:

[0017] Determine an estimated charging time and an estimated amount to be charged corresponding to a full charge of the electric vehicle based on a change in the charged amount over time in the charging data;

[0018] The estimated charging time is compared with the planned charging time. If the estimated charging time is less than the planned charging time, the estimated charging completion time corresponding to the estimated charging time is determined. The estimated charging completion time and the estimated amount to be charged constitute the dynamic charging progress information.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution and analyzing the changes in the charged amount over time in the charging data, the estimated charging time and the estimated amount to be charged required to fully charge the electric vehicle can be calculated in real time, providing the car owner with accurate information on the charging progress. The estimated charging time is compared with the planned charging time set by the car owner. If the estimated charging time is less than the planned charging time, the estimated charging completion time can be determined, which means that if the charging process is faster than expected, the charging strategy can be automatically adjusted to avoid unnecessary energy waste and potential battery overcharging risks. The generation and display of dynamic charging progress information enables the car owner to grasp the charging progress in real time, including the estimated charging completion time and the remaining charging amount, thereby enhancing the user experience and reducing the uncertainty and anxiety caused by waiting for charging to be completed.

[0020] In a preferred example, the present application may be further configured as follows: when the charging setting information is a driving destination setting, the charging setting information includes a planned driving destination;

[0021] Generating dynamic charging progress information based on the charging data and the charging setting information includes:

[0022] Obtaining historical power consumption data and current remaining power of the electric vehicle, determining an estimated power consumption of the electric vehicle when traveling to the planned destination based on the historical power consumption data, and calculating a difference between the estimated power consumption and the current remaining power as an estimated amount to be charged;

[0023] According to the change of the charged amount in the charging data over time, the estimated charging completion time corresponding to the estimated amount to be charged is determined, and the estimated charging completion time and the estimated amount to be charged constitute the dynamic charging progress information.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, combined with the driving needs of the electric vehicle (i.e., the planned driving destination) and the actual status of the vehicle (historical power consumption data and the current remaining power), a personalized charging plan can be provided for the owner. This not only meets the owner's driving needs, but also ensures the efficiency and economy of the charging process. The estimated amount to be charged is determined based on the difference between the estimated power consumption and the current remaining power, and the estimated time for charging completion is estimated based on this. Charging planning based on actual needs helps to reduce unnecessary charging time and improve charging efficiency.

[0025] In a preferred example, the present application may be further configured as follows: the method further includes:

[0026] determining an estimated charging fee based on the estimated amount to be charged;

[0027] Obtain the remaining balance of the account bound to the VIN code;

[0028] The estimated charging fee is compared with the remaining fee. If the estimated charging fee exceeds the remaining fee, the fee difference between the estimated charging fee and the remaining fee is calculated, and the fee difference is sent to the central control device of the electric vehicle for display to prompt the owner to recharge the account fee in time.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the estimated charging cost is determined based on the estimated amount to be charged. Car owners can plan their costs in advance, which helps avoid the embarrassing situation of charging interruptions due to insufficient funds. When the estimated charging cost exceeds the remaining account balance, the cost difference can be calculated in time and sent to the electric vehicle's central control device for display. This instant feedback mechanism allows car owners to quickly understand their account balance and make corresponding adjustments (such as recharging), enhancing the user experience.

[0030] In a preferred example, the present application may be further configured as follows: sending charging setting options to the central control device of the electric vehicle includes:

[0031] Get current weather information;

[0032] determining, based on the current weather information, the recommendation levels for the charging time setting, the full charge setting, and the driving destination setting in the charging setting options;

[0033] Based on the recommendation levels corresponding to the charging time setting, the full power setting, and the driving destination setting, a charging setting option is sent to the central control device of the electric vehicle.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solutions, certain weather conditions (such as extremely high or low temperatures, heavy rain, etc.) may have an adverse effect on the charging process of electric vehicles. By considering weather factors to recommend charging setting options, charging safety issues caused by weather reasons can be reduced to a certain extent.

[0035] In a preferred example, the present application may be further configured as follows: the method further includes:

[0036] Acquiring historical driving data and current driving path of the electric vehicle;

[0037] Comparing the current driving route with each driving route in the historical driving data, and estimating the power demand of the current driving route;

[0038] A recommended charging pile is determined according to the power demand, and location information of the recommended charging pile is sent to a central control device of the electric vehicle.

[0039] By adopting the above technical solution, the comparison results of the current driving route and historical driving data can be analyzed in real time, which can more accurately estimate the vehicle's power demand on the current route. This helps car owners to find and go to the appropriate charging station for charging in time when the battery is low, avoiding driving interruptions caused by depleted power and improving driving convenience and safety.

[0040] In a second aspect, the present application provides a computer program product that employs the following technical solution:

[0048] In summary, this application has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0049] This application can confirm the uniqueness and legitimacy of the charging object by monitoring the connection between the charging pile and the electric vehicle and obtaining the vehicle identification code (VIN code) of the electric vehicle, thereby effectively preventing unauthorized or illegal vehicles from accessing the charging pile for charging, thereby improving the safety of the charging process. Verifying the legitimacy of the VIN code is an important step to ensure that charging services are only open to legal vehicles, which helps prevent potential fraud. Once the electric vehicle is correctly connected to the charging pile and the VIN code is verified, the charging preparation process is automatically started, reducing the manual operation steps of the user and improving the convenience of charging.

[0055] The following is combined with Figure 1 -Attached Figure 5 This application is described in further detail.

[0056] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present application and is not a limitation of the present application. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the present embodiment as needed, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present application, they are protected by the patent law.

If personal information is involved in the embodiments, the acquisition of all personal information requires the consent of the individual. If sensitive information is involved, the separate consent of the information subject needs to be obtained. The embodiments also need to be implemented with the authorization and consent of the object.

[0060] The present application embodiment provides a plug-and-play charging method for a charging pile, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method provided in the embodiment of the present application is performed by an electronic device, which can be a server or a terminal device, wherein the server can be an independent physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing cloud computing services. The terminal device can be a smartphone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, etc., but is not limited thereto. The terminal device and the server can be directly or indirectly connected via wired or wireless communication, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. The method includes steps S101 to S104, wherein:

[0061] S101: When it is detected that the charging pile is connected to the electric vehicle, the VIN code of the electric vehicle is obtained and a charging preparation process is started.

[0062] Specifically, when an electric vehicle needs to be charged, the charging gun of the charging pile is manually connected to the electric vehicle. After the charging pile detects that the charging gun is reliably connected, it sends a connection success signal to the electronic device. When the electronic device detects that the charging pile is connected to the electric vehicle, that is, receives the connection success signal sent by the charging pile, it communicates with the electric vehicle in accordance with the GB / T27930 standard, obtains the VIN code of the electric vehicle, starts the charging preparation process at the same time, and starts to verify whether the VIN code is legal. The charging preparation process is executed during the process of verifying whether the VIN code is legal.

[0063] S102: Verify whether the VIN code is legal. If the VIN code is legal, receive the charging setting information in the charging preparation process and charge the electric vehicle according to the charging setting information.

[0064] Specifically, there are two ways to verify whether the VIN code is legal, namely the VIN code verification method based on the local charging pile and the VIN code verification method based on the remote charging pile operation background.

[0065] See also Figure 2 , which shows a schematic flow chart of a VIN code verification method based on a local charging pile provided by an embodiment of the present application. A legal VIN code is pre-registered in a registered VIN code library. When the VIN code of the electric vehicle being charged is obtained, the current VIN code is compared with the registered VIN code library. If the current VIN code exists in the registered VIN code library, it indicates that the verification is successful and the current VIN code is legal; if the current VIN code does not exist in the registered VIN code library, it indicates that the verification fails and the current VIN code is illegal.

[0066] See also Figure 3 , which shows a flowchart diagram of the VIN code verification method based on the remote charging pile operation background provided by an embodiment of the present application. The legal VIN code is pre-registered in the registered VIN code library of the charging pile operation background. When the VIN code of the electric vehicle being charged is obtained, the current VIN code is sent to the charging pile operation background and compared with the registered VIN code library of the charging pile operation background. If the current VIN code exists in the registered VIN code library, it indicates that the verification is passed and the current VIN code is legal; if the current VIN code does not exist in the registered VIN code library, it indicates that the verification failed and the current VIN code is illegal. The charging pile operation background sends the verification result to the charging pile and the electronic device.

[0067] Further, Figure 4The charging flow chart provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown. If the VIN code is valid, it indicates that the VIN code has been registered and the electric vehicle is allowed to charge. During the VIN code verification process, the charging preparation phase is executed. The electronic device starts the charging preparation process. The charging pile sends a parameter configuration phase communication message to the electric vehicle. The owner enters the charging setting information based on the parameter configuration phase communication message. The electric vehicle returns the set charging setting information to the charging pile. After the electronic device receives the successful VIN code verification and the set charging setting information, it determines that charging is allowed and the electric vehicle is ready. The charging phase begins, and the charging pile begins charging the electric vehicle.

[0068] Among them, the charging setting information includes setting information of any one of the charging time setting, full power setting and driving destination setting. The car owner can set any one of them according to actual needs. The charging time setting requires the car owner to set the time, which means that the charging of the electric vehicle will end after the set time. The full power setting means that the charging will end after the electric vehicle is fully charged. The driving destination setting requires the car owner to set the driving destination, which means that the charging of the electric vehicle will end after the battery is sufficient to reach the destination. The car owner can choose any one to set according to actual needs.

[0069] S103. During the charging process of the electric vehicle, the charging data of the electric vehicle is obtained in real time.

[0070] Specifically, starting from the moment the electric vehicle starts to be charged, the change of the charged amount over time and the remaining power of the electric vehicle at each moment are obtained as the charging data of the electric vehicle.

[0071] S104: Generate dynamic charging progress information based on the charging data and charging setting information, send the dynamic charging progress information to the central control device of the electric vehicle for display, and deduct the fee from the account bound to the VIN code after charging is completed.

[0072] Specifically, a time interval can be set to generate dynamic charging progress information through charging data and charging setting information at each time interval, so that the car owner can timely understand the charging status through the dynamic charging progress information. The time interval can be set according to actual needs and is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0073] More specifically, the charging completion time and the estimated amount to be charged can be estimated based on the charging data and charging setting information. The estimated charging completion time and the estimated amount to be charged constitute dynamic charging progress information. The charging cost can be predicted based on the estimated amount to be charged. When the account bound to the VIN code is insufficient, the electric vehicle central control device can prompt the owner to recharge in time before charging is completed, so that the account bound to the VIN code can be deducted after charging is completed.

[0074] The embodiment of the present application can confirm the uniqueness and legitimacy of the charging object by monitoring the connection between the charging pile and the electric vehicle and obtaining the vehicle identification code (VIN code) of the electric vehicle, thereby effectively preventing unauthorized or illegal vehicles from accessing the charging pile for charging, thereby improving the safety of the charging process. Verifying the legitimacy of the VIN code is an important step to ensure that charging services are only open to legal vehicles, which helps to prevent potential fraud. Once the electric vehicle is correctly connected to the charging pile and the VIN code verification is passed, the charging preparation process is automatically started, reducing the manual operation steps of the user and improving the convenience of charging. The charging setting information allows the user to flexibly set the charging parameters according to their own needs, obtain the charging data of the electric vehicle in real time, and generate dynamic charging progress information based on this data, which is fed back to the central control device of the electric vehicle for display in real time, allowing the owner to intuitively understand the charging status, enhancing the transparency and controllability of the charging process. After charging is completed, the account bound to the VIN code is automatically deducted, which simplifies the payment process, avoids the need for users to pay manually or worry about forgetting to pay, and improves the overall user experience.

[0075] In one possible implementation of the embodiment of the present application, starting a charging preparation process includes:

[0076] Sending charging setting options to a central control device of an electric vehicle, the charging setting options including charging time setting, full charge setting and driving destination setting, so that the owner of the electric vehicle can select any one of the charging time setting, full charge setting and driving destination setting to set, thereby generating charging setting information.

[0077] Specifically, when the user selects a charging duration setting, the generated charging setting information includes the planned charging duration corresponding to the charging duration setting. When the user selects a fully charged state setting, the generated charging setting information includes the fully charged state setting option. When the user selects a travel destination setting, the generated charging setting information includes the planned travel destination.

[0078] In the embodiment of the present application, car owners can choose appropriate charging settings according to their actual needs, providing a variety of charging setting options, making the charging process more personalized and convenient. Users are no longer limited to a single charging mode, but can adjust it according to their preferences and actual conditions, thereby improving the overall user experience.

[0079] In a possible implementation of the embodiment of the present application, when the charging setting information is a charging duration setting, the charging setting information includes a planned charging duration;

[0080] Generate dynamic charging progress information based on charging data and charging settings, including:

[0081] Determine the estimated charging time and the estimated amount to be charged when the electric vehicle is fully charged based on the change of the charged amount over time in the charging data;

[0082] The estimated charging time is compared with the planned charging time. If the estimated charging time is less than the planned charging time, the estimated charging completion time corresponding to the estimated charging time is determined. The estimated charging completion time and the estimated amount to be charged constitute dynamic charging progress information.

[0083] In this embodiment, the charging rate can be calculated based on the change in the charged capacity over time in the charging data. The charging rate can be the average charging rate for a few seconds or minutes before the current moment, or the average charging rate between the start of charging and the current moment, that is, the amount of energy charged per unit time. Furthermore, the electric vehicle battery management system can obtain the current remaining charge and total battery capacity of the electric vehicle, and calculate the difference between the total battery capacity and the remaining charge to obtain the estimated remaining charge capacity. Finally, the ratio of the estimated remaining charge capacity to the charging rate is calculated to obtain the estimated charging time.

[0084] Furthermore, the estimated charging time is compared with the planned charging time. If the estimated charging time is not less than the planned charging time, it indicates that the planned charging time will be reached before the electric vehicle is fully charged. In this case, charging can be terminated when the planned charging time is reached according to the owner's needs. If the estimated charging time is less than the planned charging time, it indicates that the electric vehicle can be fully charged before the planned charging time is reached. In this case, the time after the current time by the estimated charging time can be used as the estimated charging completion time. The estimated charging completion time corresponds to the full charge time. The estimated charging completion time and the estimated amount to be charged are sent to the electric vehicle's central control device as dynamic charging progress information.

[0085] By analyzing the changes in the charged amount over time in the charging data, the embodiment of the present application can calculate in real time the estimated charging time and the estimated amount to be charged required to fully charge the electric vehicle, providing the car owner with accurate information about the charging progress, and comparing the estimated charging time with the planned charging time set by the car owner. If the estimated charging time is less than the planned charging time, the estimated charging completion time can be determined, which means that if the charging process is faster than expected, the charging strategy can be automatically adjusted to avoid unnecessary energy waste and potential battery overcharging risks. The generation and display of dynamic charging progress information enables the car owner to grasp the charging progress in real time, including the estimated charging completion time and the remaining charging amount, thereby enhancing the user experience and reducing the uncertainty and anxiety caused by waiting for charging to be completed.

[0086] In a possible implementation of the embodiment of the present application, when the charging setting information is set for a travel destination, the charging setting information includes a planned travel destination;

[0087] Generate dynamic charging progress information based on charging data and charging settings, including:

[0088] Obtaining historical power consumption data and current remaining power of the electric vehicle, determining an estimated power consumption of the electric vehicle to reach a planned destination based on the historical power consumption data, and calculating the difference between the estimated power consumption and the current remaining power as an estimated remaining charge amount;

[0089] According to the change of the charged amount over time in the charging data, the estimated charging completion time corresponding to the estimated amount to be charged is determined, and the estimated charging completion time and the estimated amount to be charged constitute dynamic charging progress information.

[0090] In this embodiment, the historical power consumption data may be power consumption data prior to the current time during the current trip. The historical power consumption data represents how power consumption varies with distance. Based on this historical power consumption data, an average power consumption rate can be calculated. The average power consumption rate represents the power consumed per unit distance. The remaining distance between the current location of the electric vehicle and the planned destination is calculated, and the product of the remaining distance and the average power consumption rate is calculated to obtain the estimated power consumption of the electric vehicle from the current location to the planned destination.

[0091] Furthermore, based on the change of the charged amount over time in the charging data, the charging rate can be obtained, and the ratio of the estimated amount to be charged and the charging rate is calculated to obtain the estimated charging time. The time corresponding to the estimated charging time after the current time is used as the estimated charging completion time.

[0092] The embodiment of the present application can provide the owner with a personalized charging plan by combining the driving needs of the electric vehicle (i.e., the planned driving destination) and the actual status of the vehicle (historical power consumption data and the current remaining power). It not only meets the driving needs of the owner, but also ensures the efficiency and economy of the charging process. The estimated amount to be charged is determined based on the difference between the estimated power consumption and the current remaining power, and the estimated charging completion time is estimated based on this. Charging planning based on actual needs helps to reduce unnecessary charging time and improve charging efficiency.

[0093] In a possible implementation of the embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0094] Determine the estimated charging cost based on the estimated amount to be charged;

[0095] Get the remaining balance of the account bound to the VIN code;

[0096] The estimated charging fee is compared with the remaining fee. If the estimated charging fee exceeds the remaining fee, the difference between the estimated charging fee and the remaining fee is calculated and sent to the central control device of the electric vehicle for display to prompt the owner to recharge the account in time.

[0097] In this embodiment, the cost per unit capacity of electricity can be obtained, and the product of the estimated amount to be charged and the cost per unit capacity of electricity can be calculated to obtain the estimated charging cost. The estimated charging cost is then compared with the remaining cost. If the estimated cost does not exceed the remaining cost, it indicates that the remaining cost is sufficient for the current charging deduction, and no recharge reminder is required for the vehicle owner. If the estimated cost exceeds the remaining cost, it indicates that the remaining cost is insufficient for the current charging deduction, and a recharge reminder can be issued to the vehicle owner. The recharge reminder contains the difference between the estimated charging cost and the remaining cost, i.e., the minimum cost required for the vehicle owner to recharge.

[0098] The embodiment of the present application determines the estimated charging fee based on the estimated amount to be charged. The car owner can plan the fee in advance, which helps to avoid the embarrassing situation of charging interruption due to insufficient funds. When the estimated charging fee exceeds the remaining fee in the account, the fee difference can be calculated in time and sent to the central control device of the electric vehicle for display. This instant feedback mechanism allows the car owner to quickly understand his account balance and make corresponding processing (such as recharging), thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0099] A possible implementation of the embodiment of the present application includes sending charging setting options to a central control device of an electric vehicle, including:

[0100] Get current weather information;

[0101] Determine the recommended levels for the charging time setting, the full charge setting, and the driving destination setting in the charging setting options based on the current weather information;

[0102] Based on the recommendation levels corresponding to the charging time setting, the full power setting, and the driving destination setting, the charging setting options are sent to the central control device of the electric vehicle.

[0103] In this embodiment, multiple weather types can be pre-set and divided into good and bad categories. The classification can be based on actual experience and is not limited in this embodiment. Current weather information is obtained, and the category of the weather type corresponding to the current weather information is determined.

[0104] If the current weather information corresponds to a good classification, it means that the electric vehicle can be charged outdoors for a long time. Therefore, the recommendation level for the full battery setting can be set to strong recommendation, the recommendation level for the charging time setting can be set to general recommendation, and the recommendation level for the driving destination setting can be set to weak recommendation. The recommendation levels are sorted from strong to weak to obtain a recommendation list: full battery setting, charging time setting, and driving destination setting. The charging setting options sorted according to the recommendation list are sent to the central control device of the electric vehicle.

[0105] If the current weather information corresponds to a severe classification, it means that the electric vehicle cannot be charged outdoors for a long time. Therefore, the recommendation level for the driving destination setting can be set to strong recommendation, the recommendation level for the charging time setting can be set to general recommendation, and the recommendation level for the fully charged setting can be set to weak recommendation. The recommendation levels are sorted from strong to weak to obtain a recommendation list: driving destination setting, fully charged setting, and charging time setting. The charging setting options sorted according to the recommendation list are sent to the central control device of the electric vehicle.

[0106] In the embodiments of the present application, certain weather conditions (such as extremely high or low temperatures, heavy rain, etc.) may have an adverse effect on the charging process of the electric vehicle. By considering weather factors to recommend charging setting options, charging safety issues caused by weather reasons can be reduced to a certain extent.

[0107] In a possible implementation of the embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

[0108] Obtain historical driving data and current driving path of electric vehicles;

[0109] Compare the current driving route with each driving route in the historical driving data to estimate the power demand of the current driving route;

[0110] The recommended charging pile is determined based on the power demand, and the location information of the recommended charging pile is sent to the central control device of the electric vehicle.

[0111] In this embodiment, the historical driving data includes each driving path of the electric vehicle and the driving time period corresponding to the driving path. The driving paths with the same starting point in the historical driving data are divided into a category of driving paths. For the same category of driving paths, the total number of driving paths in the category is determined, and the driving time periods corresponding to the various driving paths are arranged on a time axis. For any time point on the time axis, the number of driving paths whose driving time period includes the time point is determined. If the obtained number exceeds the total number of driving paths in the category, the time point is used as the time point corresponding to the category of driving paths, and the various time points are integrated to obtain the time period corresponding to the category of driving paths.

[0112] The current route is then compared with each category of routes in the historical data. If a route overlaps with the current route, the endpoint of that route is used as the estimated destination for the current route. If two or more routes overlap with the current route, the ratio of the time period corresponding to the current route to the time period corresponding to each route category is calculated. The endpoint of the route with the largest ratio is selected as the estimated destination for the current route.

[0113] After determining the estimated destination, the estimated distance between the current location and the estimated destination is calculated. The power demand can be calculated based on the estimated distance, and the power demand is compared with the remaining power at the current moment. If the power demand is not greater than the remaining power at the current moment, there is no charging demand and no reminder is given; if the power demand is greater than the remaining power at the current moment, it indicates that the electric vehicle has a charging demand. The distance that the electric vehicle can still travel is estimated based on the remaining power at the current moment, and a recommended charging station is found within this distance.

[0114] The embodiment of the present application can more accurately estimate the vehicle's power demand on the current route by comparing the current driving route with historical driving data in real time, which helps the owner to find and go to a suitable charging station for charging in time when the battery is low, avoiding driving interruptions caused by depleted power and improving driving convenience and safety.
