Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for detecting a collision event and taking measures to reduce resulting damage and injury. This may be accomplished by an electric vehicle charging station (EVCS) receiving power from a first power source, wherein the EVCS uses the power to charge an electric vehicle. The EVCS can use a sensor to detect an object within a threshold distance of the EVCS. The EVCS can use the information collected by the sensor to determine if the object will contact the EVCS. If the EVCS determines that the object will contact the EVCS the EVCS can take measures (e.g., stop receiving power from the power source) to reduce damage and/or injury.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for identifying the status of an electric vehicle charging station’s (EVCS) parking space. This may be accomplished by an EVCS detecting an electric vehicle in a parking space using one or more sensors. The EVCS can use the one or more sensors to receive user information relating to the detected electric vehicle. The EVCS can then determine a status (e.g., “Occupied,” “Soon to be occupied,” “Available,” “Soon to be available,” etc.) of the parking space using the received user information. The EVCS then transmits the status to a device (e.g., server, smartphone, etc.).
