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 21):
A method of charging an electric vehicle having roof-mounted charge-receiving electrodes at a charging station, comprising:\n transmitting data between the electric vehicle and the charging station as the electric vehicle approaches the charging station; docking the electrical vehicle at the charging station based at least on a portion of the data, wherein the docking includes:\n positioning the electric vehicle at the charging station such that charge-receiving electrodes of the vehicle are positioned below charging electrodes of the charging station; and \n automatically connecting the charge-receiving electrodes of the vehicle with the charging electrodes of the charging station, wherein the connecting includes decreasing a gap between the charging electrodes and the charge-receiving electrodes to make contact between the charging electrodes and the charge-receiving electrodes; and \n activating current flow from the charging station to the electric vehicle for charging.
