Claims9
A system for calculating and collecting an electric charge fee for an electric vehicle, the system comprising:
- a charge control unit that is electrically connected to a battery in the vehicle and charges the battery when the vehicle is connected to an outlet of a power supply means;
- a power usage amount and cost calculation unit that measures a power usage amount supplied to the battery by the charge control unit from the power supply means and calculates an electricity rate corresponding to the measured power usage amount;
- a collection means that communicates with an electric payment means of a user and collects the electricity rate from the electronic payment means;
- and
- a double metering blocking unit that transfers a metric prohibition request signal to the power supply means to prevent metering for the measured power usage amount when the battery is finished charging.
