Abstract: A computer manages network based preferences associated with charging transactions for electric vehicles. A network based energy preference service receives a request for a set of preferences for an identified principal having an interest in the charging transaction and associated with a charging transaction for an electric vehicle from a preference requesting service over a network connection. The charging transaction is a transaction associated with at least one of charging the electric vehicle, storing electric power in an electric storage mechanism associated with the electric vehicle, and de-charging the electric vehicle. The network based energy preference service retrieves the set of preferences from a data storage device associated with the preference service. A preference in the set of preferences specifies a parameter of the charging transaction that is to be minimized, maximized, or optimized. A vehicle transaction planner sends the set of preferences to the preference requesting service.

Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, a computer manages an electric vehicle charging transaction. A set of principals is identified associated with the charging transaction for an electric vehicle. A principal is an entity having an interest in the charging transaction. Electric vehicle charging information is retrieved from a set of sources. An energy transaction plan is generated during a pre-charge phase using the electric vehicle charging information and based on preferences of one or more principals to govern the charging transaction. The computer initiates a charging phase of the charging transaction for an electric vehicle connected to a charging station according to the energy transaction plan. The charging phase comprises charging the electric vehicle with electricity, storing electricity in the electric vehicle, and removing electricity to de-charge the electric vehicle. The computer settles financial obligations among principals according to the energy transaction plan.
