ST05-Electric Charging Stations Management: CARTS

Status: Future

Description

The Electric Charging Station Management service package provides an exchange of information between the electric vehicle and charging station to manage the charging operation. The service package also supports interaction between a traveler in a vehicle and a transportation information center in order to plan a trip that will involve requesting locations and availability of charging stations as well as reserving a spot at a charging station if needed. The agency or company operating the charging station can use vehicle information such as the capability of the vehicle (e.g. operational status of the electrical system, how many amps can the vehicle handle, and % charge complete) to determine that the charge is being properly applied and determine an estimated time to complete charging.
