Abstract
An electricity distribution, monitoring, and control system for recharging electric vehicles. The system may include a plug outlet device having a sensor, and a plug adapter apparatus having a tag. The tag may communicate with the sensor when the plug adapter apparatus is coupled to the plug outlet device. An electric vehicle receives an electric charge from the plug outlet device after an identification number associated with the tag is verified by a remote server. Alternatively, a plug outlet device includes a tag, and an electric vehicle has attached thereto a monitoring and communication device, which may include a sensor. The sensor may communicate with the tag when the electric vehicle is proximally located to the plug outlet device, and obtain authorization from a remote server or the outlet device to charge the electric vehicle.
