Abstract
A system and a method of sending sampled meter data from an electric vehicle charger to a backend for reporting via Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) for use by a utility to charge a customer for a power usage bill is provided. The method comprises sampling the meter data during a charging session of an electric vehicle (EV) at the electric vehicle charger being in an offline state to generate a raw utility billing cycle interval data and session data and a raw greater than 45-days interval data and session data. The method further comprises not sending the raw utility billing cycle interval data and session data as is from the electric vehicle charger to the backend. The method comprises sending a summary of the raw utility billing cycle interval data and session data in a format compliant with the OCPP to be interrupted correctly by an OCPP server.
