System and method for electric vehicle charging control management

Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for managing electric vehicle charging control that provide the reduction of the operational cost to charge an electric vehicle by an energy provider and the reduction of load power consumption. In some examples, a charging control unit can include at least one processor, at least one memory, and an energy cost program stored in the memory to provide calculations for one or more optimized charging windows based on the operational cost of providing electricity by the energy provider. The energy cost information can be acquired by performing a day-ahead web scrape of a publicly available energy cost aggregator for the day-ahead settlement point cost of electricity and the market price of electricity. The charging control unit can provide charge control commands to the EV via a vehicle application programming interface.
