Abstract: A system (1100) and method (810) for monitoring and minimizing vehicle carbon emissions is disclosed herein. The system (1100) comprises a mobile device (110) for a vehicle (1000), a connected vehicle device (135) comprising on-vehicle data for the vehicle (1000), and an off vehicle source (70) selected from a database (1125), a cloud source (1175), or a physical structure (1140). The mobile device (110) is configured to access and combine off-vehicle content (75) with on-vehicle data relating to carbon emissions, in order to enable, disable or manage at least one function of the vehicle (1000) over a secure wireless network (80).

Abstract: A system (700) and method (720) for enabling a vehicle (710) utilizing electrical propulsion to selectively commence a re-charging session based on one or more variables determined by an assigning authority (1105 that is connected to the vehicle through a mobile network (1110) is disclosed herein. The system (1100) comprises an assigning authority engine (1105), a mobile device (110) for an electric vehicle (1000), and a charging station (715).
