Abstract
Aspects relate to apparatus and methods for autonomously controlling electric vehicles for charging. Apparatus includes a processor configured to receive a map of a location, communicate with a plurality of vehicles at the location, and communicate charging data to a user. Communicating with the plurality of vehicles includes receiving status data from the vehicles, transmitting a waypath to the vehicles, and directing the vehicles to a designated spot for charging.
