VEHICLE TO VEHICLE COMMUNICATION

Abstract:

A system for communication between a first electric vehicle, and a second electric vehicle following the first electric vehicle on a route comprises a controller communicatively coupled to a battery associated with the second electric vehicle. The controller is configured to receive a set of first operating parameters associated with the first electric vehicle. The controller determines whether to adjust a component operating parameter of at least one component of the second electric vehicle based on the set of first operating parameters. The controller generates an adjustment command configured to adjust a component operating parameter of the at least one component responsive to the determination. The adjustment of the component operating parameter is configured to manage a state of charge of the battery associated with the second electric vehicle.
