A method for delivering energy to an electric vehicle, said method comprising:
- receiving, via a wireless connection, a unique identifier of the electric vehicle from a tag within the electric vehicle;
- determining an account associated with the identifier;
- delivering an amount of energy to the electric vehicle;
- and
- determining a transaction amount related to the amount of energy delivered to the electric vehicle at an energy delivery point.
A system for providing energy delivery to an electric vehicle, said system comprising:
- an energy delivery point configured to receive, via a wireless connection, a unique identifier of the electric vehicle from a tag within the electric vehicle, and deliver an amount of energy to the electric vehicle;
- and
- a server system coupled to said energy delivery point, said server system configured to determine an account associated with the identifier, and determine a transaction amount based on the amount of energy delivered to the electric vehicle by said energy delivery point.
