Dynamic pricing of energy consumed from a shared battery using real-time consumption data

Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer program products for dynamic pricing of energy consumed from a shared battery using real-time consumption data are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes calculating wear cost arising from a battery shared by multiple users, wherein the wear cost is based on usage data of the battery; calculating a proportionality factor for each of the multiple users for the calculated wear cost, wherein the proportionality factor is based on individual usage of the battery; apportioning the calculated wear cost to each of the multiple users based on the user's proportionality factor; and determining a dynamic price for energy used by the battery for each of the multiple users, based on said apportioning.

1 . A computer-implemented method, comprising:
 calculating wear cost arising from a battery shared by multiple users, wherein the wear cost is based on usage data of the battery;   calculating a proportionality factor for each of the multiple users for the calculated wear cost, wherein the proportionality factor is based on individual usage of the battery;   apportioning the calculated wear cost to each of the multiple users based on the user's proportionality factor; and   determining a dynamic price for energy used by the battery for each of the multiple users, based on said apportioning, wherein the steps are carried out by at least one computing device.
