Provision Of Charging Plans For Electric Vehicles

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of providing optimised future charging plans (70) for charging batteries (91) of electric vehicles (90) of a fleet of electric vehicles (90) using electric vehicle chargers (81). The method comprises the steps of: obtaining respective future travel plans (10) for the electric vehicles (90); obtaining battery data (20) for the batteries (91) of the electric vehicles (90), the battery data (20) including, for each electric vehicle (90), battery state of charge (701, 702, 703) and battery state of health; and executing an optimisation process to determine future charging plans (70) for charging the electric vehicles (90) using the electric vehicle chargers (81), the optimisation process having one or more constraints, including a first constraint that requires the future charging plans (70) to increase the batteries' (91) states of charge to allow the electric vehicles (90) to perform their respective future travel plans (10). Within the one or more constraints, the optimisation process seeks to minimise deterioration rates of the batteries' (91) states of health.
