Abstract
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.
