ABSTRACT:
In a charger for the battery of an electric vehicle, a stable time of day clock is provided to initiate charging at a preselected time of day, and to control at least a portion of the charge cycle. The clock can be set in accordance with the schedule established for the vehicle so that charging will be accomplished automatically during the scheduled time of day when the vehicle is not in use. In the case of a fleet of such vehicles, at the termination of use, each driver simply parks the vehicle and connects an AC power line; charging for each vehicle will be initiated as determined by the clock associated therewith. An indicating system is provided to advise the driver that power has been properly connected and charging will commence at the appropriate time.
