Application: Location based convenience charging (Patent ID: US20230373339A1)
The patent filed by Rivian Automotive Inc. describes a system and method for convenience charging of an electric vehicle. The system includes memory to store a charging schedule and processing circuitry to determine if the vehicle's state of charge is insufficient to reach a priority location. If the vehicle is connected to a charger outside the schedule and needs more charge to reach the priority location, the system initiates charging earlier. The system can determine the priority location based on user driving history or by searching for emergency locations closest to the vehicle, such as hospitals or user-inputted locations. It can also estimate the cost to charge the vehicle based on the charge cost rate and notify the user if the cost exceeds a sensitivity index.
The method outlined in the patent involves determining if the electric vehicle is connected to a charger outside the charging schedule and if the current state of charge is inadequate to reach a priority location. If so, the method facilitates charging earlier to ensure the vehicle can reach the desired location. Similar to the system, the method can determine the priority location based on user driving history or emergency locations, estimate the charging cost, and generate notifications if the cost surpasses a user-defined sensitivity index. The patent also includes a computer-readable medium with instructions for executing the method. Overall, the patent aims to optimize electric vehicle charging for convenience and efficient travel to priority locations.
