Abstract: An EV can be autonomously charged by using its localization and navigation capabilities. The EV determines its pose in a local area and establishes a connection with a charger coordination system. The EV requests the charger coordination system to find a charging station in the local area based on the EV's pose. The charger coordination system uses the EV's pose to find the charging station. The charger coordination system sends the location of the charging station to the EV. The EV navigates to the charger. The EV further determines its pose relative to the charging station and aligns its charge port with the charger plug of the charging station. The EV may plug itself in or request the charger coordination system to insert the charger plug into the charge port. The alignment and insertion process may be managed by using force sensors on the charger plug or charge port.

Abstract: A heat transfer system regulates the flow of a coolant or heating fluid to the battery of an electric vehicle (EV). Heat transfer systems may be located at charging facilities for charging EVs in an EV fleet. A fleet manager may direct an EV to a particular charging facility to appropriately cool or heat the EV battery during charging; different charging facilities may have different heating or cooling capabilities. The fleet manager may oversee operation of the heat transfer systems, e.g., pre-heating or pre-cooling a heat transfer fluid based on predicted demand.

Abstract: A charging facility provides a charging lane for charging electric vehicles (EVs). A charging system for charging the EVs in the lane includes a power management system and a set of chargers, each charger at a respective charging position along the charging lane. A load manager receives information about the EVs′ charge levels and positions in the lane, and determines a charge rate for each EV. The power management system receives power from a power supply and distributes the power to the chargers according to the charging rates determined by the load manager, and the chargers deliver the power to the EVs.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically suppressing noise at electric vehicle charging sites. In particular, systems and methods are provided for measuring the ambient noise at a charging site and adjusting electric vehicle chargers to reduce noise pollution. In some examples, electric vehicle charger cooling fans potentially generate a high level of noise, and the power output of a charger can be decreased to decrease the heat generated by the chargers, thereby reducing the need for fans. In various examples, reduction of noise pollution can be especially important in specified geographies (e.g., residential neighborhoods) and/or during selected timeframes (e.g., overnight). In various examples, the system interfaces with a central computer service (e.g., a dispatch service) to intelligently route autonomous vehicles to charging sites based on noise levels at various available charging sites.
