Abstract

A dual charging system is disclosed. The system may comprise a receiver configured to receive power, an electrical charger port coupled to the receiver for charging a vehicle, a rechargeable battery coupled to the receiver and the electrical charger port, a fuel generator coupled to the receiver, and a switch coupled to the receiver, the electrical charger port, rechargeable battery, and fuel generator. The switch may be configured to switch the received power from the receiver to at least one of the rechargeable battery, the fuel generator, or the electrical charger port.

Claims (32)

1 . A dual charging system, comprising:

a receiver configured to receive power;

an electrical charger port coupled to the receiver for charging a vehicle;

a rechargeable battery coupled to the receiver and the electrical charger port;

a fuel generator coupled to the receiver; and

a switch coupled to the receiver, the electrical charger port, rechargeable battery, and fuel generator, and configured to switch the received power from the receiver to at least one of the rechargeable battery, the fuel generator, or the electrical charger port.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the switch is configured to switch the received power to the rechargeable battery in response to a determination that the rechargeable battery is not fully charged.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the switch is configured to switch the received power to the fuel generator in response to a determination that the rechargeable battery is fully charged.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the rechargeable battery is configured to store the received power and supply the stored power to the electric vehicle charger port.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the fuel generator is configured to use electrical power to produce hydrogen.

6 . The system of claim 5 , further comprising a fuel storage coupled to the fuel generator to receive the produced hydrogen.

7 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the fuel generator comprises an electrolyzer.

8 . A dual charging system, comprising:

a receiver configured to receive power;

a fuel generator coupled to the receiver;

an electrical charger port coupled to the receiver; and

a switch configured to switch the received power to the electrical charger port during a first time period and switch the received power to the fuel generator during a second time period.

9 . The system of claim 8 , further comprising a rechargeable battery coupled to the electrical charger port.

10 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the power is received from a renewable energy source.

11 . The system of claim 8 , further comprising a processor configured to determine the first time period and the second time period and coupled to the switch to control the switch.

12 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the fuel generator is configured to use electrical power to produce hydrogen.

13 . The system of claim 12 , further comprising a fuel storage coupled to the fuel generator to receive the produced hydrogen.

14 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the fuel generator comprises an electrolyzer.

15 . A dual charging method, comprising:

receiving power at a receiver; and

switching the received power from the receiver to at least one of a rechargeable battery, a fuel generator, or an electrical charger port, wherein:

the electrical charger port couples to the receiver for charging a vehicle;

the rechargeable battery couples to the receiver and the electrical charger port;

the fuel generator couples to the receiver; and

the switch couples to the receiver, the electrical charger port, the rechargeable battery, and the fuel generator.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein switching the received power from the receiver to at least one of the rechargeable battery, the fuel generator, or the electrical charger port comprises switching the received power to the rechargeable battery in response to a determination that the rechargeable battery is not fully charged.

17 . The method of claim 15 , wherein switching the received power from the receiver to at least one of the rechargeable battery, the fuel generator, or the electrical charger port comprises switching the received power to the fuel generator in response to a determination that the rechargeable battery is fully charged.
