摘要

A method for managing the charging of an electric vehicle is disclosed. The method includes receiving a request for a charge transfer for an electric vehicle over a network link between an electric vehicle charging station and a cloud server. The network link has a mobile device disposed between the electrical vehicle charging station and the cloud server for facilitating communication between the charging station and the cloud server. The method further including authorizing the charge transfer request received at the cloud server using identification information and credit account information received from the mobile device; and sending, from the cloud server, a response enabling the charge transfer from the electric vehicle charging station to the electric vehicle.

1. A method for controlling a charging of an electric vehicle using an electric vehicle charging station, a mobile device, and a cloud server, the method comprising:
transmitting, from the electric vehicle charging station, a charge transfer request for an electric vehicle to the mobile device, wherein the electric vehicle charging station does not transmit a charge transfer request for an electric vehicle to the cloud server without relaying through the mobile device; receiving, at the mobile device, the charge transfer request for the electric vehicle over a network link from the electric vehicle charging station, wherein a user of the mobile device is associated with the electric vehicle to be charged; relaying, from the mobile device, the charge transfer request for the electric vehicle to the cloud server, wherein the charge transfer request relayed from the mobile device includes identification information and funding credit account information; authorizing the charge transfer request received at the cloud server using the identification information and credit account information received from the mobile device; and sending, from the cloud server, a response enabling the charge transfer from the electric vehicle charging station to the electric vehicle.
