OEM EV Charging Control via Carbon Credit Intermediary
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current electric vehicle charging structures do not account for remittance to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for charging schedules, as third-party companies control charging based on minimizing utility costs without compensating OEMs for providing location and state of charge data.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method and system that allows OEMs to determine demand-based charging schedules, process OEM charging policy options, and modify them into policy-based schedules to charge electric vehicles at low carbon footprint timeframes, facilitating payment of carbon credits from third-party environmental entities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If third party companies control charging schedules to minimize utility costs, then utility cost minimization is achieved, but OEM profit is reduced due to lack of compensation for data provision
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary compensation mechanism where third-party companies that control charging schedules must pay OEMs for utilizing their vehicle location and state of charge data. This intermediary payment flow resolves the contradiction by ensuring that while utility costs are minimized through third-party scheduling control, OEMs receive compensation for their data contributions, thereby maintaining their profit reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent establishes a feedback loop where charging schedule data and compensation information are exchanged between third-party companies and OEMs. The third-party companies receive feedback on data usage and provide compensation in return, creating a closed-loop system that ensures continuous profit flow to OEMs while maintaining effective charging schedule control with utility cost minimization
2Loss of energy
If third party companies select lowest cost charge intervals to minimize utility costs, then utility cost minimization is achieved, but OEM earnings are not influenced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary compensation mechanism where third-party companies that control charging schedules must pay OEMs for utilizing their vehicle location and state of charge data. This intermediary payment flow resolves the contradiction by ensuring that while utility costs are minimized through third-party scheduling control, OEMs receive compensation for their data contributions, thereby maintaining their profit reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent establishes a feedback loop where charging schedule data and compensation information are exchanged between third-party companies and OEMs. The third-party companies receive feedback on data usage and provide compensation in return, creating a closed-loop system that ensures continuous profit flow to OEMs while maintaining effective charging schedule control with utility cost minimization

AI summary
A system and method for providing original equipment manufacturer (OEM) control to maximize profits that include determining at least one demand based charging schedule. The system and method also include processing an OEM charging policy option to schedule charging of the at least one electric vehicle at a low carbon footprint timeframe. The system and method additionally include modifying the at least one demand based charging schedule into a policy based charging schedule based on an acceptance of the OEM charging policy option by the at least one third party environmental entity. The system and method further include facilitating payment of a carbon credit payment from the at least one third party environmental entity to the OEM.
