More Information
Summary:Method and apparatus for charging a battery of an electric vehicle (EV) may determine a power charging schedule for charging the EV from a microgrid, based on charging preference information for the EV, and also power consumption information for devices on the microgrid and alternative power resource information indicating availability of electric power for supply to the microgrid from an alternative power resource on the microgrid received via a communication network. A charging instruction signal for charging the EV from the microgrid, according to the power charging schedule, may be transmitted over the communication network.
