1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
while a diagnostic service is not running:
receiving, from an electronic controller of an electric vehicle, a plurality of vehicle bus messages via a vehicle interface with the electric vehicle; and
processing the plurality of vehicle bus messages to identify, from the plurality of vehicle bus messages, a first vehicle bus message having a first vehicle bus message type, wherein the first vehicle bus message type indicates a potential initiation of charging of a battery of the electric vehicle; and
in response to identifying the first vehicle bus message having the first vehicle bus message type:
running the diagnostic service configured to receive, via the vehicle interface, first diagnostic data regarding the electric vehicle; and
confirming, using the running diagnostic service, a charging state of the battery from the first diagnostic data.
