Methods and systems for electric vehicle (EV) charge units and systems for processing connections to charge units

This invention describes a system that helps electric vehicle drivers find charging stations. When a driver requests to find a charger in a specific area, the system identifies available units and also finds discounts offered at those locations. These discounts can be for nearby businesses or for the charging itself, and are sent back to the driver's device. The system specifically details that discounts are applied after the vehicle has charged and after the nearby merchant validates the discount.

Why it matters: The substantial growth in electric vehicle adoption and the expansion of charging infrastructure since 2019 have created a much larger market for integrated services that enhance the charging experience. The platform model for connecting disparate services, like EV charging and local merchant promotions, has also matured, making such integrations more expected and potentially easier to implement at scale.
