Centrally Managing Electrical Vehicle Recharging Station Infrastructure Data Using Over-the-Air Telematics Communications

摘要

A system and method are described for maintaining a recharging station database for electric vehicles based upon recharging event data provided by electric vehicles equipped with telematics units. The recharging station server computer system is configured to receive recharging event information corresponding to a recharging event for an electric vehicle battery unit by an identified recharger, the recharging event information including at least a measurement relating to an electrical infrastructure providing power to the identified recharger. The system is further configured to process the recharging event information to render a diagnostic result relating to an electrical infrastructure providing power to the identified recharger. The computer system issues an alert based upon a detected condition in the electrical infrastructure during the processing.
