Abstract
Methods and systems for improving the charging of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) using solar irradiance. For example, a computing system may be configured to obtain sensor data from a plurality of vehicles, where the sensor data is indicative of sensor measurement data acquired by a perception sensor of the respective vehicle, a time the sensor measurement data was acquired, and a pose of the vehicle. The computing system may be configured to, based on the sensor data from the plurality of vehicles, determine a plurality of solar irradiance levels for a plurality of locations within a geographic area. The computing system may be configured to generate a map layer, the map layer being indicative of a respective solar irradiance level for each of the plurality of locations. The computing system may be configured to output the map layer for integration into map data associated with the geographic area.
