Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.
Field: Transport (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  B  Y | IPC B  G

Claim 7:
8. A system for adjusting an electric vehicle charging speed comprising:
a memory storing instructions when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
determine that an electric vehicle arrives at a charging station;
query a station database to determine a plurality of pricing schemes that are respectively associated with a plurality of charging speed tiers, available at the charging station at a current point in time, that pertain to respective charging speeds to charge the electric vehicle by the charging station;
present a pricing scheme user interface that enables an operator of the electric vehicle to select a desired state of charge to charge a battery of the electric vehicle, wherein the pricing scheme user interface includes the plurality of pricing schemes, expected times to complete charging of the battery of the electric vehicle to reach the desired state of charge from a current state of charge based on each of the plurality of charging speed tiers, and expected costs to charge the battery of the electric vehicle to the desired state of charge from the current state of charge based on each of the plurality of pricing schemes; and
actuate charging of the battery of the electric vehicle by the charging station at an operator preferred charging speed tier that is respectively associated with a particular charging speed tier of the plurality of charging speed tiers based on a selection of the particular charging speed tier by the operator through the pricing scheme user interface,
wherein determining that the electric vehicle arrives at the charging station includes querying the station database to determine if a current geo-location of the electric vehicle matches with a geo-location of the charging station stored on the station database.
