Abstract: A multi-functional cord that can be used in connection with one or more user devices specified by a user associated with the cord. The user may program the multi-functional cord to enable the multi-functional cord to operate in a particular manner when associated with a first user device and may preclude the multi-functional cord from operating when associated with a second user device. The multi-functional cord may also, or alternatively, be pre-programmed to work with a particular user device, such as, in a non-limiting example, when the multi-functional cord is sold with the user device. Certain aspects of the present disclosure provided may be implemented within electric vehicle charging systems and electric vehicle supply equipment comprising wired and wireless power and data interfaces.
