Abstract
An electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) charging system includes an EVSE charging station that is configured to be coupled to an electric vehicle (EV). The charging system further includes an EVSE cloud server coupled to the EVSE charging station optionally via a charge management network. The EVSE cloud server may automatically determine a charging routine for the EV based on historic rate and charge data of the EV and enable a user to interactively modify the charging routine in real-time. The charging routine may provide one or more charging options to the user based on a desired trade-off between different charging cost structures and the required time to charge the EV.
