System and method for adjusting an electric vehicle charging speed

Abstract:

A system and method for adjusting an electric vehicle charging speed that include determining that an electric vehicle arrives at a charging station and receiving electric vehicle pricing data associated with a price to charge the electric vehicle at a plurality of charging speed tiers by the charging station. The system and method also include determining a price difference between the price to charge the electric vehicle at a fast charging speed tier and a slower charging speed tier. The system and method further include adjusting the electric vehicle charging speed to the fast charging speed tier upon determining that the price difference is equal to or below a charging price delta threshold.
