Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Portable communication devices and methods for use in charging an electrically powered vehicle are disclosed. One example portable communication device includes a first input device configured to scan an optical machine-readable code associated with the charging station, a display device, and a processor coupled to the first input and display devices and configured to determine an identification number of a charging station based on an optical machine-readable code scanned by the first input device, to initiate communication with the charging station through at least one network, and to cause the display device to display a user interface, the user interface including content associated with the charging station.
