Abstract
A method for vehicle-to-vehicle charging includes identifying a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) for charging based on a determination that the PHEV's engine will start prior to the PHEV's battery being charged from an external power source. The method can include identifying a battery electric vehicle (BEV) to provide charging to the identified PHEV and transmitting location information to at least one of the PHEV or the BEV for navigating to the location of the other of the PHEV or the BEV. An electrical connection between the BEV and the PHEV is verified and a BEV to PHEV charging process is actuated.
