SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CHARGING ELECTRIC VEHICLES AT A CHARGE DEPOT UTILIZING SIGNAL STRENGTH DATA

A system for charging one or more electric vehicles (EV) at a charge depot includes one or more communication devices and one or more computing devices. The communication devices are configured to define a first wireless communication network (WCN) for the charge depot having a plurality of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE). The computing devices are configured to define a connectivity map of an area including the plurality of EVSE using signal strength data from at least one EVSE among the plurality of EVSE, where the connectivity map provides signal strength of the first WCN. The computing devices are further configured to transmit a charge instruction to an EV among the one or more EVs assigning a designated EVSE from among the plurality of EVSE at which the EV is to charge based on the signal strength at the designated EVSE provided by the connectivity map.
