Zusammenfassung:A parking management system generates a first record reflecting the time a parking interval begins. A persistent memory 12, 14 stores the first record. A recharging station 30 connects to a vehicle 40 having rechargeable batteries to supply electricity from a power source 60. A communications link 42 is connected with the recharging station 30 and communicates with the power source 60. A controller 50 enables the recharging station to direct electricity from the vehicle's batteries to the power source 60 in response to a request. A second device 32 generates a second record reflecting use of electricity for battery recharging and reflecting the repurchase of electricity directed from the vehicle's batteries. The persistent memory stores the second record. A third device reads the first and second records and calculates an amount due for parking and recharging and notifies the customer of the calculated amount.
