Google is currently working on the development of a “smart charging software.” This software will help to prevent electronic (plug-in) vehicles from causing traffic jams when in traffic; where these cars tend to lose their charge fast and breakdown.
On of their biggest tasks that is still in its initial phases is writing a software that will manage charging times for these cars. As more and more of these cars hit the road each day, there is a growing concern that certain “charging times” will become too popular and potentially cause power disruptions or require construction of new power plants. Of course, Google is writing some behind the scenes software that can decide how to best charge cars.
With a flip of a switch, Google’s smart-charging software will allow power generating chargers to either power up and charge up to 250 cars at once, or stop the charge of these cars. Depending on need, some cars could receive charge for two minutes, others twenty.
This improvement for earth friendly cars is one of the many things Google has done to prove its commitment to making the world greener.
