Credit and rewards program for electric vehicle users based on clean energy usage

A method of a system that includes electric vehicle charging control circuitry having a telematics control interface and a power delivery interface, the method comprising:

• identifying, by the circuitry via the telematics control interface, a vehicle identifier associated with an electric vehicle;
• retrieving, by the circuitry and based on the vehicle identifier, usage data comprising a plurality of battery charging records for the electric vehicle,
• wherein each battery charging record of the plurality of battery charging records comprises a charging time-period of the electric vehicle, a quantity of electrical power used to charge the electric vehicle during the charging time-period, and a geographic location of the electric vehicle during the charging time-period;
• receiving, by the circuitry via a network interface, emissions intensity information for the geographic location from an external emissions data provider;
• determining, by the circuitry and based on the usage data and the emissions intensity information, a carbon intensity score for the electrical power consumed during the charging time-period specified in each battery charging record of the plurality of battery charging records, wherein
• the calculation is based on the usage data, and
• the carbon intensity score corresponds to an amount of carbon dioxide emitted based on the charge of the electric vehicle;
• generating and transmitting, by the circuitry via the power delivery interface, a charging control signal to a charging relay, inverter, or rectifier of an electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) controller, the charging control signal automatically initiating or adjusting at least one physical charging parameter of the EVSE, including charging current, charging voltage, or a duty cycle of power delivery, based on a determination that the charging time period and the carbon intensity score are below a threshold, thereby dynamically modifying charging operations of the electric vehicle in real time based on grid conditions;
• determining, by the circuitry and based on the carbon intensity score and the usage data after the charging of the electric vehicle is initiated, an adjusted quantity of the electrical power for allocation of energy credits;
• and
• transmitting, by the circuitry, to an energy credit provider, a request for the allocation of the energy credits against the vehicle identifier, based on the adjusted quantity.
