System and method of tracking multiple electric vehicle supply equipment in a shipment

A method, comprising:

• storing, by an electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) tracking device attached to a first EVSE, a shipment roster including EVSE data that uniquely identifies the first EVSE and at least one other EVSE packaged with the first EVSE;
• periodically executing, by the EVSE tracking device, an EVSE check-in process, wherein for each EVSE check-in process:
• broadcasting a check-in signal including the EVSE data associated with the first EVSE;
• determining whether an EVSE check-in total indicates a missing EVSE, wherein the EVSE check-in total is total number of EVSE from among any of the at least one other EVSE that checked-in;
• executing an EVSE misplacement operation to notify a remote server of the missing EVSE in response to the EVSE check-in total being determined to indicate the missing EVSE based on the shipment roster;
• and
• entering a power conservation state in response to the EVSE check-in total not indicating the missing EVSE with the EVSE check-in total being same as an EVSE parcel total provided in the shipment roster.

An electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) tracking device to be attached at a first EVSE, comprising:

• a communication device configured to receive and transmit data;
• a computing device configured to:
• store a shipment roster including EVSE data that uniquely identifies the first EVSE and at least two other EVSE packaged with the first EVSE;
• periodically execute an EVSE check-in process, wherein for each EVSE check-in process, the computing device is configured to:
• broadcast, using the communication device, a check-in signal including the EVSE data associated with the first EVSE;
• determine whether an EVSE check-in total indicates a missing EVSE, wherein the EVSE check-in total is total number of EVSE from among any of the at least two other EVSE that checked-in based on the EVSE data received by the communication device;
• entering a power conservation state in response to the EVSE check-in total not indicating the missing EVSE with the EVSE check-in total being same as an EVSE parcel total provided in the shipment roster;
• and
• in response to the EVSE check-in total indicating the missing EVSE:
• activate the first EVSE to emit a shipment separation message indicating the first EVSE is the missing EVSE in response to the EVSE check-in total being less than or equal to a first response threshold;
• and
• transmit a missing EVSE notification to identify at least one EVSE of the at least two other EVSEs that has not transmitted the EVSE data as the missing EVSE in response to the EVSE check-in total being the same as that of an EVSE check-in total from one or more of the at least two other EVSEs.
