More Information
Summary:An electric vehicle 103 is positioned relative to a charging point 105 by receiving at the vehicle a global positioning system (GPS) signal and a global positioning system correction signal. A stationary reference transmitter 109 may be configured to transmit the global positioning system correction signal. The global positioning system correction signal may be received from the charging point. The global positioning system correction signal may be received via a cellular network, via a wireless internet connection and/or via a DAB (digital audio broadcasting) signal. The accuracy of the correction signal may be corroborated. The electric vehicle may be a plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) or a plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV).
