Claim 15:
16. A system for electric vehicle (EV) charging, the system comprising:
an EV charger, wherein the EV charger comprises:
a power management unit;
a processor;
a low power short range wireless point-to-point communication system; and
a memory containing an authentication software application;

wherein the processor is configured by the authentication software application to:
receive a tap to start session from a mobile device via the low power short range wireless point-to-point communication system, wherein receiving the tap to start session includes authenticating a first communication session with the mobile device;
send, from the tap to start session, encrypted EV charger access credentials to the mobile device;
receive, from the tap to start session, a digital token from the mobile device;
end the first communication session with the mobile device after receiving the digital token from the mobile device;
verify the digital token;
after the tap to start session has ended, initiate a charging session based upon a command contained within the digital token;
end the charging session;
store, in the memory, charging session data for the charging session;
receive a tap to end session from the mobile device via the low power short range wireless point-to-point communication system, wherein the tap to start session is separate from the tap to begin session, wherein receiving the tap to end session comprises authenticating a second communication session with the mobile device, and wherein the second communication session is different from the first communication session; and
through the tap to end session, transfer the charging session data to the mobile device, wherein the charging session data is forwarded to a server when an internet connection is available on the mobile device,

wherein the mobile device comprises a mobile device processor and a mobile device memory containing a mobile device authentication software application;
wherein the mobile device processor is configured by the mobile device authentication software application to:
send the authentication request to the EV charger via the low power short range wireless point-to-point communication system;
receive the encrypted EV charger access credentials from the EV charger; and
send the digital token to the EV charger.
