Abstract

An electric vehicle charging station system has numerous charging nodes, each charging node including a charging station having at least two connector interfaces selected from the group consisting of a Level 1 charging device, a Level 2 charging device, a Tesla charging device, and a Level 3/Fast DC charging device, wherein the plurality of charging nodes are in communication with each other through a network. The charging station has a display device on each charging station with one or more portals for a web-based or consumer-focused content, wherein content is provided by a vendor concentrically located within a predetermined distance to the system, and other content provides the location of other charging nodes. A selection device allows the consumer to select a particular portal, wherein the selection device transmits the selected content to a mobile device associated with the consumer.

Claims

1. An electric vehicle charging station system comprising:

a. A plurality of charging nodes, each charging node including a charging station capable of charging at least two electric vehicle and having at least two connector interfaces selected from the group consisting of a Level 1 charging device, a Level 2 charging device, a Tesla charging device, and a Level 3/Fast DC charging device, wherein the plurality of charging nodes are in communication with each other through a network;

b. A display device disposed on each charging station, the display device having one or more portals that display a web-based or consumer-focused content, wherein a portion of the content is provided by a vendor that provides a good or service concentrically located within a predetermined distance to the system, and another portion of the content provides the location of adjacent charging nodes to a consumer using the system to charge an electric vehicle; and

c. A selection device that allows the consumer to select a particular portal, wherein the selection device transmits the selected content to a mobile device associated with the consumer.
