Abstract: A vehicle-mounted charger having voice control function includes: a contact plug, a charging socket, a voice acquisition unit, a recognition control unit, and a first BLUETOOTH unit. The voice acquisition unit collects a voice signal and converts the voice signal to an electrical signal. The recognition control unit includes a conversion module, a first storage module, an operation module, and an executive module. The conversion module converts the electrical signal into a data signal and sends the data signal to the operation module. The operation module compares the data signal with predetermined storage data stored by the first storage module, operates the data signal, and sends control command to the executive module. The executive module sends executive command according to the control command. The first BLUETOOTH unit sends BLUETOOTH signal to the portable device according to the executive command to control the portable device to execute corresponding operation.

Abstract: A method of docking an electric vehicle with a charging station includes periodically transmitting data from the vehicle to the charging station. The transmitted data may include a distance travelled by the vehicle location towards the charging station and its speed. An incremental distance travelled by the vehicle in a time interval between when the data is collected and received is calculated, and the distance corrected based on this calculated value. The relative position of the vehicle with respect to the charging station is determined based on the corrected distance, and a charge head of the charging station is automatically connected with the charging interface of the vehicle based on the determined relative position.

Abstract: An adapter which can be retrofit onto the downstream end of a standard Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment connector is used to control power consumption of an Electric Vehicle charging facility by intercepting the Control Pilot Signal going to the Electric Vehicle and issuing a new Control Pilot Signal to the Electric Vehicle which is particularly tailored for the present use, requirements and limitations of the delivery system capability. The adapter has wireless communication capability, requires no wiring to and from the Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment, is independent of any proprietary designs of the Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment and adds no constraints or requirements to the Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment.
