What the filing covers
Switch-matrix architecture that dynamically routes converter capacity through any port under signed multi-vehicle service-level commitments, allocating power only when joint-feasibility, site-power envelope, connector compatibility, and isolation/thermal limits are satisfied simultaneously. I filed this because shared charging equipment has to serve several commitments within the same limits. A switch matrix routes converter capacity through ports. Allocation requires joint feasibility, the site-power envelope, connector compatibility and isolation and thermal limits to be satisfied together. Signed multi-vehicle service commitments connect those checks with the vehicles being served.
Why it matters now
Several vehicles can request power at the same time. Their combined requests can exceed what the site or equipment can supply. Connector and thermal conditions matter alongside total electrical capacity. Allocation has to consider those requirements together rather than evaluate each request in isolation.
A real-world example
Imagine vehicles with charging commitments that overlap at a hub. Each commitment looks workable when considered alone. The vehicles share converter capacity, so the operator also has to examine the combined demand. Routing power to one port affects the capacity available for the other commitments.
I use the switch-matrix approach to address that shared allocation. The routing decision has to satisfy all the named conditions at once. Available site power is one constraint. Compatible connectors and isolation and thermal limits are also part of the decision. A workable schedule needs equipment conditions that allow it to be carried out.
Consider a request that fits the calendar but exceeds the site's power envelope when combined with other service. The time window alone cannot make that allocation workable. Joint feasibility brings the commitments together with the physical limits. The allocation stays within those limits while serving the signed commitments.
Where it applies
This work applies to multi-vehicle charging facilities and fleet energy operations. Wins Parking EV and robotaxi charging and Recharged are the associated uses. I focus on how a hub directs shared converter capacity among charging ports.
For an operator, I would look at commitments as a group. Which vehicles need power during the same period? What capacity is available? Which equipment conditions govern the allocation? Those questions connect the service schedule to the site's actual constraints.
The dwell scheduler concerns a vehicle's mission window. The robotic connector concerns physical coupling. Bidirectional dispatch concerns energy exported from a vehicle. Hub routing concentrates on distributing converter capacity across ports under the commitments and limits of the charging site.
