1. A method of providing electricity from a power supply to an electric vehicle, said method comprising:
- receiving a request to deliver power from the power supply to the electric vehicle;
transmitting, from a sensor to a controller, a first monitoring signal indicative of a combustible gas; and
determining, by the controller, whether electrical power is to be delivered, from a charging device to the electric vehicle, based at least in part on the received first monitoring signal.

Abstract
A method of delivering power from a power supply to an electric vehicle is described herein. The method includes receiving a request to deliver power from the power supply to the electric vehicle. A first monitoring signal indicative of a combustible gas is transmitted from a sensor to a controller. The controller determines whether electrical power is to be delivered, from a charging device to the electric vehicle, based at least in part on the received first monitoring signal.
