Abstract
The present disclosure includes systems and techniques relating to communications between an electric vehicle and a charging station. In some implementations, a system includes a charging station, a dual signaling path to connect the charging station with an electric vehicle to charge the electric vehicle from the charging station, and processing electronics configured to communicate information to the electric vehicle using the dual signaling path, wherein the dual signaling path comprises a first path to support charging of the electric vehicle and a second path to support receiving control data from the electric vehicle, and wherein the processing electronics are configured to selectively use the first path or the second path in communicating the information to the electric vehicle.
