Abstract
Vehicle charging stations and methods for use in charging an electrically powered vehicle are disclosed. One example vehicle charging station includes a power source and a charging device coupled to the power source. The charging device is configured to control a charging process between the power source and an electrically powered vehicle, transmit, via at least one network, a first electronic message to a user, and receive, via the at least one network, a second electronic message from the user. The first electronic message includes at least one condition related to at least one of the charging process and the electrically power vehicle. The second electronic message includes a user command related to the at least one condition.
