MUMBAI, India, Aug. 8 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517066836 A) filed by Hitachi, Ltd., Tokyo, on July 14, for 'provision of charging plans for electric vehicles.'
Inventor(s) include Nakao, Ryohei; Vinoth, Kumar N; and Yamauchi, Shin.
The application for the patent was published on Aug. 8, under issue no. 32/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A computer-implemented method of providing optimised future charging plans (70) for charging batteries (91) of electric vehicles (90) of a fleet of electric vehicles (90) using electric vehicle chargers (81). The method comprises the steps of: obtaining respective future travel plans (10) for the electric vehicles (90); obtaining battery data (20) for the batteries (91) of the electric vehicles (90), the battery data (20) including, for each electric vehicle (90), battery state of charge (701, 702, 703) and battery state of health; and executing an optimisation process to determine future charging plans (70) for charging the electric vehicles (90) using the electric vehicle chargers (81), the optimisation process having one or more constraints, including a first constraint that requires the future charging plans (70) to increase the batteries' (91) states of charge to allow the electric vehicles (90) to perform their respective future travel plans (10). Within the one or more constraints, the optimisation process seeks to minimise deterioration rates of the batteries' (91) states of health."
The patent application was internationally filed on Jan. 30, 2024, under International application No.PCT/EP2024/052182.
