Wherein, the charging coupon has a discount content and at least one attribute, and the electric vehicle or mobile device corresponds to a user identification code. The discount content of one of the charging coupons can specify the discount method corresponding to the charging coupon, and the attribute can specify the usage conditions corresponding to the charging coupon. For example, in some embodiments, the attributes of the charging coupon may include validity period, whether it can be used together with other coupons, how many times it can be used, the time, location, type of charging station, etc., but not limited to this. In some embodiments, the type of charging station may include the type of electrical characteristics of the corresponding electric vehicle charging station, such as alternating current (AC) charging station and/or direct current (DC) charging station, charging efficiency such as fast charging charging station or slow charging charging station, etc. etc., but the present invention is not limited thereto. It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the preferential content of the charging coupon can be discounted by a predetermined percentage of the charging fee, or by a predetermined amount. Next, in step S520, the server receives a charging request from the electric vehicle charging station or the mobile device through the network. Wherein, the charging request at least includes a charging station identification code and a user identification code of the corresponding electric vehicle charging station. It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the user can connect the electric vehicle EV1 to the first charging station, such as inserting a charging gun into the charging interface of the electric vehicle, to send a charging request corresponding to the first charging station. In some embodiments, the server can directly or indirectly receive a charging request from a mobile device of a corresponding electric vehicle EV1 owner. It is reminded that, in some embodiments, the user can use the scanning function of the application in the mobile device to scan a quick response code on the first charging station to generate the above charging request. In some embodiments, the user can use an application in the mobile device to select the first charging station and execute an activation function to generate the above-mentioned charging request. In some embodiments, the owner of the electric vehicle EV1 can use an RFID proximity card to approach the sensing area on the first charging station to generate a corresponding charging request. In step S530, the server causes the electric vehicle charging station to perform a charging operation through the network. Next, in step S540, the server obtains the charging coupon of the corresponding electric vehicle or mobile device according to the user identification code, and determines whether the charging coupon is applicable to the charging operation according to the charging station identification code and the attribute of the charging coupon. Specifically, the server can rely on According to the charging station identification code, the relevant data corresponding to the attribute of the charging coupon is obtained from a database and compared with the attribute data of the charging coupon to determine whether the charging coupon is suitable for the charging operation. The details of how to judge whether the charging coupon is applicable to the charging operation according to the charging station identification code and the attribute of the charging coupon will be explained later. When it is determined that the charging coupon is not applicable to the charging operation (No in step S550 ), the process ends. When it is determined that the charging coupon is applicable to the charging operation (Yes in step S550 ), in step S560 , the server discounts one of the charging fees of the corresponding charging operation according to the preferential content of the charging coupon. In other words, the server can automatically determine whether the charging coupon meets the usage conditions, and use the discount content of the charging coupon to discount the charging fee for the corresponding charging operation. For example, in one embodiment, when the charging fee is 1000 yuan and the preferential content of the first charging coupon is 50% discount, the charging fee after using the first charging coupon is 500 yuan. In another embodiment, when the charging fee is 1000 yuan and the preferential content of the second charging coupon is a discount of 200 yuan, the charging fee after using the second charging coupon is 800 yuan. In some embodiments, when there are more than one charging coupons for the corresponding electric vehicle or mobile device, the server can automatically obtain other charging coupons and proceed to step S540 in sequence when it is judged that a charging coupon is not suitable for the charging operation. Judging until a charging coupon applicable to the charging operation is found or when all charging coupons have been compared and none of them are applicable to the charging operation, stop.
在一些實施例中,當用戶具有多種可以應用的充電優惠卷時,伺服器可以自動判斷可應用的充電優惠卷有哪些並依據一種以上充電優惠卷之優惠內容將相應充電作業之充電費用進行折扣。換言之,在可以同時使用多種充電優惠卷的情境下,伺服器可以自動累加不同充電優惠卷的折扣。在一些實施例中,當用戶具有多種可以應用的充電優惠卷時,伺服器可以從所有充電優惠卷之優惠內容中自動選擇折扣最多的一者,並據此將相應充電作業之充電費用進行折扣。換言之,在只能使用單一優惠卷的情境下,伺服器可以自動選擇最佳的優惠卷進行折扣。 In some embodiments, when the user has multiple applicable charging coupons, the server can automatically determine which charging coupons are applicable and discount the charging fee for the corresponding charging operation according to the preferential content of more than one charging coupon . In other words, in the situation where multiple charging coupons can be used at the same time, the server can automatically accumulate the discounts of different charging coupons. In some embodiments, when the user has multiple charging coupons that can be applied, the server can automatically select the one with the most discount from the discount content of all charging coupons, and accordingly discount the charging fee for the corresponding charging operation . In other words, in the situation where only one coupon can be used, the server can automatically select the best coupon for discount.
