Abstract

Responsive to a powerline connection of a vehicle to electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), vehicle version information is received indicative of whether the vehicle requires software updates that are downloaded to a non-transitory storage. If so, the software updates are sent to the vehicle over the powerline connection. If not, the software updates are requested over a wide-area connection to a remote server to be cached in the storage for use in subsequent vehicle powerline connections.
