TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention is related to a charging station/unit containing a management system for electric vehicles.

Known State of the Art

At the present, electric vehicle charging stations charge vehicles in a long time. It is not possible to charge every vehicle, because all types of sockets are not available at the charging stations. In addition, vehicle information, payment methods, received energy information are not indicated. Another shortcoming is that the user interfaces of the chargers do not provide information to the user (for example, Vehicle Battery status, Charging time, charging cost, Vehicle and user information.) Another shortcoming of existing charging stations is that alternative payment methods are not made available to users. (Usually, energy is purchased in return for numbers with a balance card issued by the Energy Provider organization).

At the present, no information and data analysis is being made about the Charging Points. (The points which users use the most to get energy, age range, gender, Amount Received, Vehicle models, etc.). In addition, users are not able to find charging points because charging points do not work in integration with users' mobile applications. In addition, the charging status and vehicle information cannot be viewed and tracked instantly over the mobile application.

The summary of the application number 2020/13558, which emerged as a result of technical research is as follows: “This invention relates to a system that enables the prioritization of electric vehicles entering and/or approaching the relevant charging area according to the battery status of electric vehicles, and ensures that the electric vehicle usage habits of the drivers are communicated to the traffic inspection institutions.” As can be seen, the system is related to a system that enables charging stations to operate autonomously, and it does not mention a structure that can provide a solution to the disadvantages mentioned above.

As a result, due to the drawbacks described above and the inadequacy of the existing solutions on the subject, it was necessary to make an improvement in the relevant technical field.

In this detailed description, preferred embodiments of the invention are explained only for a better understanding of the subject and without any limiting effect.

The present invention is related to a charging station/unit containing a management system for electric vehicles.

In the system according to the invention, the Main Central Server (1) transfers all the data to the Database (2) and manages the system. Brand/Model/License Plate Information of Vehicles, Customer Information (Telephone information (optional), Name Information (user information will be displayed when the user enters the system), charging points information, Energy Price information, and other information are available in the Database (2).

When the vehicle (9) is connected via the charger with the charging cable to the Charging station (5), which is fed from the Mains Power Line (8), the Charging station (5) matches the data and information received from the vehicle with the information previously recorded in the Database (2) and displays them on its screen.

When the incoming user connects his vehicle to the charging unit, The Charging Station (5), in line with the data received from the Database (2), displays on its screen the user information, vehicle information, Brand/Model/License Plate information, current charge status, total kilometers that can be traveled with the current charge, charging time and charging cost.

In addition, the user is offered the amount of TL/kw or kw/TL to be defined by himself at the Charging Station. Price information is obtained over the Online Web Server (3) by establishing contact with the EMRA (Energy Market Regulatory Authority) WEB Service and receiving the current Price kW value. For the current price, a query is sent to EMRA at intervals to be determined by the Main Central Server (1) and the price information is updated with the response from EMRA.

The authorized person at the Main Central Server (1) writes the profit rate or amount it has determined on the data coming from EMRA. The determined kW value calculation is reflected to all stations up-to-date and instantaneously. Station network information is recorded in the Database (2) over the Main Central Server (1), and the kW price information for the desired station can be determined separately and independently from the Main Central Server (1).

The Charging Station (5) establishes connection with the Database (2) via the Landline and Mobile online line box (4). The landline is the main internet provider. In case of landline problems, a connection is established through 2 different alternatives from 2 digital (3G, 4.5G and 5G) operators.

The Landline and Mobile online line box (4) activates the wireless modem in the charging unit (5) to solve the problems caused by the network lines damaged in natural disasters, by means of the landlines and alternatively wireless 2 different operators located in the charging stations (5) and provides internet access to the masses.

The user can buy energy by typing the amount he defines in TL on the "Buy Energy" tab on the touch-sensitive screen of the Charging Station (5) (according to TL/kw account from the interface defined in the system before). The user can also buy it by typing the kW energy value defined by himself. After entering the information, the payment method is selected from the "make payment" tab at the bottom. The user can also make payments using the mobile application (6).

> Payment by Credit Card; Payment can be made by inserting a card into the credit card payment slot. (All universal Credit Cards work in the system.)

> Payment by Bank Card; Payment can be made by inserting a card into the credit card payment slot. (All universal Credit Cards work in the system.)

> QR payment; When the QR code is read from the mobile application (6) over the phone, the payment is made based on the confirmation code received by the bank.

> Contactless payment; Contactless payment is made by bringing the card closer to the contactless payment surface that appears on the screen with icons and lights.

As a result of the payment, the approval or rejection information is displayed by contacting the payment provider registered on the Web Server (3). The system waits for payment approval to supply energy. If approval is received, the Charging Station (5) starts to charge the vehicle (9) with the energy corresponding to the pre-selected payment amount. In case of a power outage during charging, the uninterruptible power supply (7) located between the mains power line (8) and the Charging Station (5) takes over and charges the vehicle (9). The capacity of the uninterruptible power supply (7) is capable of charging a minimum of 1 vehicle (9).

When the charging of the vehicle charged with the uninterruptible power supply (7) is completed, the Charging Station (5) sends a signal to the Main Center Server (1) indicating that there is an electrical problem, and switches itself into the warning mode. In addition, the charging point problem is shared with the users via the Charging Station (5) and the mobile application (6).

The process steps performed with the system according to the invention are as follows;

• The Mobile Application (6) establishes connection with the Charging Station (5) via the Web Server (3),

• The user logs in to the Mobile Application (6) or the application in the vehicle (9),

• The user clicks on the nearest charging points tab that appears in the Mobile Application (6) menu,

• The Mobile Application (6) accesses location information and displays the list of nearest charging points, (the following data appears under each list: km distance from the charging station (5), whether there is fast charging, charging socket types, Kw price information and station status information icons; the user makes a selection accordingly and presses on the selected station.)

• Mobile Application (6) determines the route over the navigation (via Google map and/or Yandex etc. map) according to the selected location.

• Upon arrival at the charging station (5), the user enters the charging information of his vehicle to the mobile application (6) and monitors them during the charging process.

• The Main Center Server (1) performs mass analyses according to the information received from the Mobile Application (6) and the Charging Station (5), (Information such as the points which users use the most to get energy, age range, gender, Amount of Energy Received, vehicle models, etc. is collected and regional analysis and assessment data are obtained. This way, contribution is made to urbanization, settlement and analyses in mass.) • If the owner of the vehicle (9) desires to terminate the vehicle charging, an audible and visual warning is issued from the Charging Station (5) screen and the mobile application (6), the vehicle (9) owner is asked whether it is desired to continue with the charging, the owner of the vehicle (9) confirms the termination of the charge if he desires, the vehicle (9) is disconnected from the charging station (5) after the confirmation is given; in case of energy being unavailable, the amount of the price corresponding to this amount is credited back to the account to which the payment was made.

• The payback transaction is made with communication of the charging station (5) with the main central server (1 ) over the web server (3).
