Abstract:
Systems and methods for charging an electric bus having a charging interface on its roof may include determining that an approaching bus is supposed to be charged at the charging station, lowering the charging head of the charging station to land on the roof of the bus, and moving the bus with the charge head on its roof to engage the charging head with the charging interface.

Claim (Index 38):
A method of charging an electric vehicle having roof-mounted charge-receiving electrodes at a charging station, comprising:\n exchanging data between the electric vehicle and the charging station as the electric vehicle approaches the charging station; using one or more sensors positioned on the charging station or the electric vehicle to assist in aligning the electric vehicle with the charging station as the electric vehicle approaches the charging station; positioning the electric vehicle such that the charge-receiving electrodes of the electric vehicle are positioned below a charge head of the charging station; decreasing a gap between the charge head and the charge-receiving electrodes; establishing electrical connection between the charge head and the charge-receiving electrodes; and charging the electric vehicle.
