SYSTEM FOR CHARGING AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV)

摘要

A method of charging an electric vehicle (EV) includes receiving a user's authentication code in an electric vehicle service equipment (EVSE) from a user's mobile device [block 402], comparing in the EVSE the user's authentication code to a whitelist having a plurality of authorized user authentication codes [block 404], and enabling an electric vehicle (EV) charging transaction serviced by the EVSE in response to the comparing of the user's authentication code to the whitelist [blocks 406, 408] so that a user's authentication code is authenticated to enable the EV charging transaction without concurrent access to an EVSE-related remote server.
