Problems solved by technology

While credit cards can be a solution, equipment for credit card charging is expensive to provision and maintain (requires network backhaul capability)
Also, credit card charges are usually a flat fee plus a percentage of electricity sales
The credit card charge associated with the cost of recharging the battery may exceed the charge for the electricity used

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and system for paying charges associated with charging an electric vehicle. Payment for electricity consumption to charge the EV (102) is made using micropayments. In one aspect, payment is made using a mobile device (106), such as a cellular telephone ("handset"). In one aspect, a method of payment of charges associated with charging an electric vehicle (102) is described. This embodiment of the method includes receiving power consumption information related to charging an electric vehicle (102) at a charging station (104). The power consumption information is associated with the mobile device number. Verify the power consumption information. A charge for the verified power consumption information is included on an invoice (114) for use of the mobile device associated with the mobile device number.

Description

Background technique [0001] EVs (electric vehicles, which include PEVs (plug-in electric vehicles) and PHEVs (plug-in hybrid electric vehicles)) use batteries as an energy source at least part of the time during operation. These batteries discharge during use and require recharging on an intermittent basis. In some instances, this charging occurs at a charging station that is remote from the operator's home and remote from any other location where the meter associated with that party is located. Similar to gasoline stations, there is a fee associated with "recharging" these batteries at these charging stations. However, unlike petroleum-based fuels, the costs associated with charging these batteries can be a few dollars or less compared to the tens to hundreds of dollars for petroleum-based fuel costs for vehicles powered by internal combustion engines. In addition, electric utilities typically sell electricity to consumers upon making a credit bill or other guarantee of pay...
