Abstract
A computing device for estimating a charge load and a charge time for at least one electric vehicle is described. The computing device is configured to store, in a database coupled to the computing device, charging characteristics associated with a first vehicle of the at least one electric vehicle. The computing device is also configured to receive, from the first electric vehicle, a state of charge of the first electric vehicle, determine an estimated peak charge time and an estimated peak charge load based on the charging characteristics associated with the first electric vehicle and the state of charge of the first electric vehicle, and facilitate determining whether the first electric vehicle is authorized to charge based at least on the estimated peak charge time and the estimated peak charge load.
