Abstract: A system for charging electric vehicles on or near water includes a charging station and a shore station. The charging station comprises an aquatic structure which can be attached and/or moored to a shore and/or the ground/bed of the body of water, and receptacles that are assembled around the aquatic structure and connected to it. The receptacles are preferably all water-proof, and collectively house various components for allowing the recharging of an electric vehicle. The shore station is remote and mechanically disconnected from the charging station. The shore station is at least partially, if not entirely, above water and attached to the shore of the body of water, for example to a quayside. The shore station includes communication means that complement the communication means of the charging station.

Abstract: A charging infrastructure including a charging station (1) for charging a vehicle (10) having a vehicle-side charging interface (20). The charging station (1) includes a robot (50) that carries a robot-side charging interface (100) for establishing a charging connection with the vehicle-side charging interface (20). The robot (50) includes a base frame (51), a movable carrier (60) carrying the robot-side charging interface (100), and at least three displacement assemblies (71-76) between the base frame (51) and the movable carrier (60) that form a mechanism to move the movable carrier (60) with at least three degrees of freedom with respect to the base frame (51). The displacement assemblies (71-76) include an actuator (80) and a compliance assembly (90) in series with the actuator (80) and the robot-side charging interface for resiliently absorbing or releasing a displacement between the actuator and the robot-side charging interface over a compliance stroke or displacement angle.

Abstract: Electric vehicle charging scheduling includes receiving repeated sensor readings of a battery of an electric vehicle, the readings monitoring a charge of the battery while the electric vehicle proceeds along a contemporaneously scheduled route. Then, a geolocation of the electric vehicle is determined and a database queried with the geolocation. A charging station is then identified within geographic proximity of the geolocation of the electric vehicle. As well, a route scheduled for the electric vehicle after the contemporaneously scheduled route is determined. Thereafter, a threshold charge is computed that is requisite to complete both the contemporaneously scheduled route and also at least a portion of the route scheduled after the contemporaneously scheduled route. Finally, in response to a determination that the monitored charge on the battery is below the threshold level, an alert is displayed indicating to charge the battery at the identified charging station.

Abstract: An automatic charging system includes: a vehicle driven by power from a power storage device; a charger equipped with a charging cable having a charging connector; a charging robot equipped with a robot arm, which automatically grasp the charging connector, and insert and remove the charging connector into and from a charging port of the vehicle, so that power is charged to the power storage device; and a control device which causes the vehicle to lock a door and a window, each of which is a closest to the charging port, during at least a charging operation, in which the charging robot receives an instruction to start automatic charging, starts autonomous moving from a predetermined stand-by position, completes charging power to the power storage device, and returns to the predetermined stand-by position.

Abstract: Wirelessly charging a vehicle battery may be performed using a plurality of charging coils. The offboard coils and the onboard coils may be spaced apart by different amounts, such that, when the vehicle is positioned in a vehicle charging space, at least one pair of an onboard coil and an offboard coil may still be substantially aligned for wireless charging, even when other coils are misaligned. The offboard coils may include sizes that are conducive to charge smaller capacity systems in some arrangements and are combinable to charge larger capacity systems in other arrangements. In addition, the use of relatively small coils may allow for flexibility in thermal management.

Abstract: A charging system for an industrial electric vehicle is described. The charging system includes a charger module; a connector module; and a controller. The charger module is configured for receiving an input power from a primary power source, converting the input power into an output power and providing the output power to the connector module. The connector module is electrically connected, by an electrical connection, to the charger module for providing the output power to the connector module. The connector module includes a charging connector electrically connected to the charger module. The charger module is configured for receiving the output power from the charger module for transiently connecting the charging connector to a receiving connector of the industrial electric vehicle, for charging the industrial electric vehicle with the output power. The connector module further including a first actuator for adjusting a vertical position of the charging connector, and a second actuator for adjusting a horizontal position of the charging connector. The controller is configured for detecting a position of the receiving connector, controlling the first actuator to adjust the position of the charging connector according to the position of the receiving connector, and controlling the second actuator to connect the charging connector to the receiving connector. The connector module, and optionally the charger module, is/are arranged on a movable frame, the movable frame including a coupling device, wherein the coupling device is configured for coupling the movable frame to a transport device for transporting the movable frame.
