Abstract
A plug-in vehicle has a door lock system which uses an electronic certification key. The electronic certification key stores a certification code and has a wireless communication device to transmit the code. A management system for charging the plug-in vehicle has a wireless communication device which can receive the certification code from the key, and a key verification module which verifies whether a proper key exists at the charging station or not. If a proper key is detected, the system permits charging the plug-in vehicle from a power outlet. On the other hand, if a proper key is not detected, the system denies and prohibits charging the plug-in vehicle from the power outlet.
