An Electric Vehicle (EV) charging system and method is disclosed. The system includes EV with a battery, charge control device, a portable transponder, a charging station with energy management device, a cable, a transmitter. The vehicle ID and SoC information is received from the vehicle, and the information is transmitted to the internet server along with charging station ID. The portable transponder is registered with the internet server which includes transponder ID and associated vehicles or vehicle IDs. Once the request for payment authorization is received from the charging station by the server, the server verifies the information and approves or denies the request. Upon approval of the request, the charging can commence. The portable transponder can be used for charging a second vehicle, as long as the second vehicle is also registered with the server.

A vehicle service and a process to pay for the vehicle service are provided. A data connection is established between a service point and an electronic control unit of a vehicle. Initial vehicle service data is gathered that includes a timestamp of establishing the data connection, identification data of the vehicle, and, at the time of the timestamp, at least one value of a state of the vehicle indicating a quantity which is to be altered by the provision of the vehicle service. Service provider service data of the completed vehicle service is stored on the blockchain network. The validity of the provision of the vehicle service is checked by comparing the initial and final vehicle service data and the provider service data of the completed vehicle service. When the validity is confirmed, the process to pay for the vehicle service is triggered on the blockchain network.
