Systems and methods for remotely servicing an electric charging apparatus

Abstract

Inventions described include systems and methods for remotely servicing an electric charger. System components can include: a remote-controlled disconnect switch including a contactor configured to prevent the electric charger from losing power; a safety subsystem including a manual disconnect switch coupled to the remote-controlled disconnect switch; a set of lines coupling the remote-controlled disconnect switch to an interface and the manual disconnect switch; an indication subsystem; and optionally, an enclosure/housing. The systems and methods function to provide a safe and secure mechanism for remotely communicating with, accessing, manipulating, testing, servicing, and/or modulating operation of an associated charger. The system 100 thus provides a mechanism for reducing, minimizing, or otherwise eliminating downtime for an associated charger, in order to rapidly address issues for users, in relation to hardware faults, software faults, internet connectivity issues, and/or other issues involved in a charging session.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
