Abstract
Particular embodiments may provide a method for facilitating access to power dispensers at a charging station by a server. The server receives a request to charge an electric vehicle (EV) at a charging station that has one or more power dispensers. Then, the server identifies a target EV to request disconnection of the power dispenser connected to the target EV based on an assessment of the EVs connected to the power dispensers. The server facilitates communication with a device associated with the user of the target EV, wherein the communication includes transmission of a notification comprising a request to disconnect the power dispenser connected to the target EV. Based on a response indicating acceptance of the request to disconnect the power dispenser, the server transmits signals to stop the power dispenser from charging the target EV and to unlock a charge port of the target EV.
