Electric vehicle charging

An electric vehicle charging system comprising:

• at least one electric vehicle charging station communicatively coupled to a computing device, the computing device comprising at least one processor and at least one memory, wherein the at least one memory comprises program instructions which, when executed on the at least one processor, cause the computing device to:
• store user-specific data comprising information configured to set automatic charging mode to at least one electric vehicle charging station determined by the user in a memory, the information comprising geographical coordinates of the at least one electric vehicle charging station and a predetermined distance determined by the user for the electric vehicle charging station for allowing sending an authorized start-command automatically to the charging station to set a charging mode for the user, in which charging mode charging starts automatically when an electric vehicle is connected wirelessly or through a charging cable to the electric vehicle charging station;
• track geographical coordinates of the user based on geographical information received from a device of the user;
• detect when the user is within the predetermined distance from the at least one electric vehicle charging station by comparing the geographical coordinates of the user and the geographical coordinates of the at least one electric vehicle charging station;
• notify the user with a notification that the charging mode will be set to the at least one electric vehicle charging station;
• send the authorized start-command automatically to the at least one electric vehicle charging station in response to detecting the user within the predetermined distance from the at least one electric vehicle charging station to set the charging mode for the user;
• receive information when a charging operation has stopped at the at least one electric vehicle charging station after the charging mode is set;
• after the information is received, cancel the charging mode;
• and
• after the charging mode is canceled, determine that the user has at least once moved outside the predetermined distance from the at least one electric vehicle charging station before sending a new start command.

A method, the method comprising:

• storing user-specific data comprising information configured to set automatic charging mode to at least one electric vehicle charging station determined by the user in a memory, the information comprising geographical coordinates of the at least one electric vehicle charging station and a predetermined distance determined by the user for the electric vehicle charging station for allowing sending an authorized start-command automatically to the charging station to set a charging mode for the user, in which charging mode charging starts automatically when an electric vehicle is connected wirelessly or through a charging cable to the electric vehicle charging station;
• tracking geographical coordinates of the user based on geographical information received from a device of the user;
• detecting when the user is within the predetermined distance from the at least one electric vehicle charging station by comparing the geographical coordinates of the user and the geographical coordinates of the at least one electric vehicle charging station;
• notifying the user that the charging mode will be set to the at least one electric vehicle charging station;
• sending the authorized start-command automatically to the at least one electric vehicle charging station in response to detecting the user within the predetermined distance from the at least one electric vehicle charging station to set the charging mode for the user;
• receiving information when a charging operation has stopped at the at least one electric vehicle charging station after the charging mode is set;
• after the information is received, canceling the charging mode;
• and
• after the charging mode is canceled, determining that the user has at least once moved outside the predetermined distance from the at least one electric vehicle charging station before sending a new start command.
