VEHICLE TO VEHICLE CHARGE TRANSFER

Abstract

A device is described. The device comprises: a charging cable; a power conversion circuit; and a processor. The processor storing instructions in non-transitory memory that, when executed, causes the processor to: determine that a donor is connected to a recipient through the charging cable; determine an amount of first charge that a first battery pack of the donor can discharge; establish a bi-directional communication link with the recipient and obtain second charging configuration parameters of a second battery pack of the recipient; determine a charging specification to charge the second battery pack of the recipient based on the second charging configuration parameters; communicate a command to the power conversion circuit to convert a first power from the donor to a second power based on the charging specification; and transfer the second power through the charging cable as per the charging specification to charge the second battery pack of the recipient.
