A vehicle charging system and method, including: a charging station configured to selectively deliver charging power to a vehicle in an intelligent manner when connected; a perception sensor coupled to the charging station configured to obtain an image of the vehicle when present in proximity to the charging station; and memory storing instructions executed by a processor to identify the vehicle from the image of the vehicle using an artificial intelligence/machine learning algorithm, including, for example, identifying one or more of a make/model of the vehicle using a trained image recognition algorithm and a license plate number of the vehicle using a trained text recognition algorithm from the image of the vehicle. The vehicle charging system and method also control a charging parameter based on the determined identity of the vehicle, where the charging parameter includes, for example, a charging time, a charging power, a charging rule, a billing rate, and a charger provisioning scheme.

Charging systems and methods for detecting and identifying a vehicle and utilizing this information in a charging application

Disclosed are systems and methods for vehicle charging. A charging system can include a component to convey power to a vehicle to charge the vehicle. The charging system can include a module to store a certificate via a cryptographic technique. The charging system can include a data processing system coupled to the module, the data processing system including one or more processors, coupled with memory, to retrieve the certificate from the module, transmit, to a second data processing system, a request to establish a communication connection, the request including the certificate, and establish the communication connection with the second data processing system responsive to a verification of the certificate by the second data processing system. The data processing system can transmit, to the second data processing system, data corresponding to power conveyed by the component to the vehicle subsequent to verification of the certificate.
