Abstract
A vehicle charger optimization system is disclosed. The system may include a transceiver configured to receive charging information from a vehicle. The charging information may include a real-time charging rate at which the vehicle may be getting charged using a charger. The system may further include a memory configured to store a projected charging rate associated with the charger. The system may further include a processor configured to obtain the projected charging rate and the real-time charging rate and calculate a first difference between the projected charging rate and the real-time charging rate. The processor may determine that the first difference is greater than a first predefined threshold, and perform a predetermined action based on a determination that the first difference is greater than the first predefined threshold. The predefined action may include transmitting a maintenance flag to a server or a third-party entity that manages the charger.
