This document describes a coin-operated electric vehicle charger for public use. The charger allows electric vehicles to charge for a set period of time upon insertion of a coin. It is intended to provide charging access for electric vehicle users at locations like parking lots, bus stations, and shopping malls. The charger uses coin detection sensors to recognize valid coins and a microcontroller to power the charging circuit and monitor charging time. It is designed to benefit electric vehicle users who may find themselves with a low battery away from home by allowing convenient on-the-go charging for a low cost.
