Claim 4:
5. The method of claim 4, wherein the discounts include charge rate discounts in exchange for using the idle computing power of the vehicle controller, wherein the predetermined distance is two miles, and the method further comprises:
in response to determining that the electric vehicle is in motion, determining that a battery of the electric vehicle needs to be charged based on a state of charge of the battery while the electric vehicle is in motion;
in response to determining that the battery of the electric vehicle needs to be charged, receiving charging rates for charging the electric vehicle from each of the plurality of charging infrastructures that is located within the predetermined distance from the electric vehicle;
in response to receiving the task rates for performing the computing task and the charging rates for charging the electric vehicle, determining a net profit for each of the plurality of charging infrastructure that is located within the predetermined distance from the electric vehicle using the task rates for performing the computing tasks and the charging rates for charging the electric vehicle;
comparing the net profit of each of the plurality of charging infrastructures with a predetermined profit threshold to determine whether the net profit of each of the plurality of charging infrastructures is equal to or greater than the predetermined profit threshold, thereby determining at least one profitable charging infrastructure, wherein the net profit of the at least one profitable charging infrastructure is equal to or greater than the predetermined profit threshold; and
selecting the at least one profitable charging infrastructure to determine the selected charging infrastructure.
