System and method for enabling ev charging session with charger device having discontinuous internet connectivity

A system for enabling an electric vehicle (EV) charging session with a charger device having discontinuous internet connectivity, the charger device including a logical component to enable communication between the charger device and a plurality of user devices including a first user device and a second user device, comprising:

• a first user device that is configured to authenticate a first user at a first instance of an EV charger application on the first user device, wherein the EV charger application stores authentication data received from internet in a local cache of the first user device;
• a charger device comprising (a) an energy meter electrically connected to the charger device and (b) a logical component to enable communication between the charger device and a plurality of user devices, wherein the charger device is configured to:
• initiating a first charging session at a charger device having session information data packet including assigning a session identifier, and transmitting a user identifier from the first user device to the charger device via a wireless communication protocol,
• separately storing (a) an initial reading of an energy meter electrically connected to the charger device, and (b) at least one updated reading of the energy meter throughout the first charging session, and
• terminating the first charging session of the EV from the charger device and storing a final update of reading of the energy meter as part of a first completed session information;
• a second user device that is configured to authenticate a second user at a second instance of the EV charger application on the second user device, wherein the second user device is configured to:
• obtaining the first completed session information, including the session information data packet, and the initial reading of the energy meter and the final updated reading of the energy meter or an indication of total energy provided in the first charging session, from the charger device to a second instance of the EV charger application on the second user device after a second user initiates a second charging session with the charger device;
• and
• checking for internet connectivity, and after detecting internet connectivity, transmitting the first completed session information to a cloud service or website.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a sequence of instructions, which when executed by one or more processors, causes a method for enabling an electric vehicle (EV) charging session with a charger device having discontinuous internet connectivity, the charger device including a logical component to enable communication between the charger device and a plurality of user devices including a first user device and a second user device, comprising:

• authenticating a first user at a first instance of an EV charger application on the first user device, wherein the application stores authentication data received via internet in the first user device;
• initiating a first charging session at a charger device having session information data packet including assigning a session identifier, and transmitting a user identifier from the first user device to the charger device via a wireless communication protocol;
• separately storing (a) an initial reading of an energy meter electrically connected to the charger device, and (b) at least one updated reading of the energy meter throughout the first charging session;
• terminating the first charging session of the EV from the charger device and storing a final update of reading of the energy meter as part of a first completed session information;
• transferring the first completed session information, including the session information data packet, and the initial reading of the energy meter and the final updated reading of the energy meter or an indication of total energy provided in the first charging session, from the charger device to a second instance of the EV charger application on the second user device after a second user initiates a second charging session with the charger device;
• and checking for internet connectivity with the second user device, and after detecting internet connectivity, transmitting the first completed session information to a cloud service or website.
