Electric Vehicle Charging Analytics and Reporting Tool (EV-ChART) - Electric Charging Management Center Functionality
Subsystem Description
The 'Electric Charging Management Center' provides management services for one or more electric vehicle charging stations used to charge hybrid and all–electric vehicles. This includes public charging stations that support consumers, workplace charging stations, and fleet charging stations using plug in (level 1, 2, fast charge, etc.), or inductive charging methods. The center interfaces with traveler information providers to support payment of charging and to disseminate information about the availability and status of their chargers and to coordinate reservations by drivers for the use of a charger. The center also interfaces with the appropriate electric utility that supplies electricity for its chargers to coordinate demand on the power grid.
