Electric vehicle charging station

A computer-implemented method for controlling a vehicle charging system, the computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving, via an interactive user interface disposed within a vehicle, a user input relating to charging the vehicle with the vehicle charging system;
• displaying, via the interactive user interface, information relating to an operation of the vehicle charging system or a charge sequence of the vehicle;
• and
• by one or more hardware computer processors disposed within the vehicle executing program instructions:
• accessing vehicle data relating to charging the vehicle;
• generating charging instructions to control the operation of the vehicle charging system based on at least the vehicle data and the user input;
• and
• communicating the charging instructions to the vehicle charging system.

Non-transitory computer-readable media including computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, via an interactive user interface disposed within a vehicle, a user input relating to charging the vehicle with a vehicle charging system;
• displaying, via the interactive user interface, information relating to an operation of the vehicle charging system or a charge sequence of the vehicle;
• accessing vehicle data relating to charging the vehicle;
• generating charging instructions to control the operation of the vehicle charging system based on at least the vehicle data and the user input;
• and
• communicating the charging instructions to the vehicle charging system.

An electronic device for controlling a vehicle charging system, the electronic device being remote to the vehicle charging system and comprising:

• an interactive user interface configured to:
• receive a user input relating to charging a vehicle with the vehicle charging system;
• and
• display information relating to an operation of the vehicle charging system or a charge sequence of the vehicle;
• and
• one or more hardware computer processors configured to execute program instructions to cause the electronic device to:
• access vehicle data relating to charging the vehicle;
• generate charging instructions to control the operation of the vehicle charging system based on at least the vehicle data and the user input;
• and
• communicate the charging instructions to the vehicle charging system.
