Automated remote payments between a vehicle and a refueling station

A system for automating a remote payment using a payment network using a payment network, the system comprising:

• a memory;
• and at least one processor each coupled to at least one of the one or more memories and configured to perform operations comprising:
• registering a vehicle by creating a payment token associated with the vehicle, wherein the payment token is stored in a token vault in the payment network, and wherein the payment token comprises a vehicle identifier of the vehicle;
• responsive to the registering, receiving, from an energy station, energy information representative of an energy amount to replenish energy of the vehicle, wherein the energy information is generated based upon a determination that the vehicle is within a proximity to the energy station;
• based on the energy information, determining that an onboard computing device of the vehicle is authorized to initiate the remote payment;
• receiving, from the onboard computing device, a payment data object for processing the remote payment, wherein the payment data object comprises payment information;
• mapping the payment information from the payment data object to the payment token based on a determination that the payment information includes the vehicle identifier;
• and transmitting, based on the mapped payment information, a signal to the onboard computing device of the vehicle, wherein the signal is configured to unlock a cover component of the vehicle.

A non-transitory computer-readable device having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform operations for automating a remote payment using a payment network using a payment network, the operations comprising:

• registering a vehicle by creating a payment token associated with the vehicle, wherein the payment token is stored in a token vault in the payment network, and wherein the payment token comprises a vehicle identifier of the vehicle;
• responsive to the registering, receiving, from an energy station, energy information representative of an energy amount to replenish energy of the vehicle, wherein the energy information is generated based upon a determination that the vehicle is within a proximity to the energy station;
• based on the energy information, determining that an onboard computing device of the vehicle is authorized to initiate the remote payment;
• receiving, from the onboard computing device, a payment data object for processing the remote payment, wherein the payment data object comprises payment information;
• mapping the payment information from the payment data object to the payment token based on a determination that the payment information includes the vehicle identifier;
• and transmitting, based on the mapped payment information, a signal to the onboard computing device of the vehicle, wherein the signal is configured to unlock a cover component of the vehicle.
