Abstract: A secure electric vehicle (EV) charger and system incorporating thereof is provided. One embodiment includes an EV charger. The EV charger includes a processor, a low power short range point-to-point communication system, and a memory containing an authentication software application. The processor is configured by the authentication software application to receive an authentication request from a mobile device via the low power short range point-to-point communication system, send encrypted EV charger access credentials to the mobile device, receive a digital token from the mobile device, verify the digital token, and initiate a charging session based upon a command contained within the digital token. The digital token may be encrypted using a public key and may be self-authenticating without use of an internet connection thus enabling secure charging without the presence of an internet connection.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to the field of vehicle charging technologies, and specifically provides a charging control method for vehicle plug and charge, which is intended to solve the problem in the prior art that when electric vehicle models exported from China are charged in European regions, a customer needs to apply for and top up a card at a charging operator, and at different charging stations, the customer needs to apply for cards repeatedly, making charging inconvenient. To this end, the charging control method for vehicle plug and charge of the disclosure includes: determining that a vehicle has been physically connected to a charging pile; determining whether bidirectional authentication between the vehicle and the charging pile succeeds; if the authentication succeeds, sending authorization information to the charging pile by a charging operator of the charging pile; and enabling a charging function by the charging pile upon receiving the authorization information. According to the disclosure, the function that enables automatic bidirectional authentication between the vehicle and the charging pile is established, such that when the authentication succeeds, the charging pile enables the charging function, without the need to operate by means of card swiping or code scanning on a mobile phone APP, thereby simplifying the charging process and improving the user experience.

Abstract: An access control system for electric vehicle charging is provided that includes an access device, a secure reservation interface, a reservation server and a smartphone application installed on the smartphone. The access device includes a short-range wireless communication module connected to a processor having control of an electric vehicle charger. The secure reservation interface receives a reservation request for a reservation at a given destination. The reservation server receives the reservation request for the destination, issues a reservation certificate, and transmits the reservation certificate from the reservation server to a smartphone. The smartphone application has access to a short range wireless communication setting corresponding to the access device. The access device receives the reservation certificate from the smartphone application based on use by the smartphone application of the short-range wireless communication setting. The processor activates the electric vehicle charger based on at least the receipt of the reservation certificate.

Abstract: Provided are electric vehicle charging systems and methods of operating such systems for charging electric vehicles (EVs). A system comprises one or more EV charging ports (e.g., charge handles) for connecting to EVs. The system may include various features to identify specific EVs. The system also includes a grid connector for connecting to an external power grid and, in some examples, to monitor the power grid conditions (e.g., voltage, AC frequency). The system also includes a system controller, configured to control the power output at each EV charging port based on, e.g., vehicle charging requirements and/or available grid power. The system can also include an integrated battery, serving as a backup and/or an addition to the power grid. Furthermore, in some examples, the system includes a solar connector (e.g., with an integrated inverter) for connection to an external solar array.
