System for providing an interface to electric vehicle charging stations

Abstract

In some embodiments, the system and method may access a request to charge an electric vehicle at a specific charging station, identify a charging network (e.g., one of multiple, disparate charging networks) associated with the specific charging station, and automatically provide payment information to the charging network via a payment protocol associated with the charging network. The charging interface system, therefore, may facilitate access to any charging network and/or charging station by providing an interface between a driver of an electric vehicle and one of many charging networks.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A method performed by a device in comma cation with multiple charging stations at a certain location, the method comprising:
 receiving a request to charge an electric vehicle at of multiple charging stations provided at the certain location;   identifying an available charging station at the certain location; and   presenting information associated with the available charging station.
