Abstract: Systems and methods including a charging station, with one or more processors coupled to memory. The charging station is configured to determine that a first network connection between the charging station and one or more servers is unavailable, detect an electric vehicle having a token within a threshold distance of the charging station, and establish, a second network connection between the charging station and the electric vehicle based the determination that the first network connection is unavailable and the detection of the electric vehicle within the threshold distance. The second channel is encrypted based at least in part on the token provided by the electric vehicle. The charging station is configured to transmit data collected by the charging station to cause the electric vehicle to provide the data to the one or more servers via the second network connection.

Abstract: A vehicle battery charger and a vehicle battery charging system are described and illustrated, and can include a controller enabling a user to enter a time of day at which the vehicle battery charger or system begins and/or ends charging of the vehicle battery. The vehicle battery charger can be separate from the vehicle, can be at least partially integrated into the vehicle, can include a transmitter and/or a receiver capable of communication with a controller that is remote from the vehicle and vehicle charger, and can be controlled by a user or another party (e.g., a power utility) to control battery charging based upon a time of day, cost of power, or other factors.
