More Information
Summary:A computer implemented method includes receiving, from an inter-vehicular charge recipient having a recipient vehicle, a request to arrange an inter-vehicular charge and a battery charge level for the battery of the recipient vehicle. A battery charge level for a battery of the donor vehicle is received from an inter-vehicular charge donor vehicle, and an anticipated route of the donor vehicle and an anticipated route of the recipient vehicle is obtained. The battery charge level of the battery of the recipient vehicle is compared to the battery charge level of the battery of the donor vehicle to determine a suitability for inter-vehicular charging, and the anticipated route of the donor vehicle is compared to the anticipated route of the recipient vehicle to determine a location to initiate charging. The method then generates and sends a proposal for an inter-vehicular charge transaction to the donor vehicle.
