Abstract

See full text

A method for configuring features of an electric powered vehicle to a profile of a random user includes storing a profile of a user on a device possessed by the user. The profile is indicative of how the features of the electric powered vehicle are to be configured. The profile of the user is then transmitted to the vehicle using a radio frequency (RF) transmission link. The features of the vehicle are then configured in accordance with the profile of the user upon receiving the profile of the user. An alternative method for communicating data between a user and the vehicle includes connecting the vehicle to an electric power supply using a hard wired connection. Electrical power from the power supply is then supplied to the vehicle using a power signal through the connection. A carrier signal is then multiplexed on the power signal as the electrical power is being supplied from the electric power supply to the vehicle. A data signal is then transmitted on the carrier signal to communicate data between the vehicle and the electric power supply.
