It is necessary for the end user to know which options are supported by a charging station. EVs may have an “identity” for electronic readout, e.g. by means of a certificate. Also, other information which can be communicated by an EV to the infrastructure may be relevant for the execution and planning of charging orders. The current battery charge condition, the power requirements during the charging procedure, as well as the cruising range are parameters that may be relevant for the planning of charging orders. The vehicle and charging station can communicate using a connector cable, but also other mechanisms are possible, e.g. using the back-end system of an EV manufacturer, to which an EV is connected (using mobile data connection).
