1. A method, comprising:
at a computer system comprising one or more processors, and memory, wherein the computer system is in communication with an electric vehicle charging station (EVCS), the EVCS comprising a camera for obtaining images of a region proximal to the EVCS:
capturing, using the camera, a plurality of images of electric vehicles, each image in the plurality of images being an image of a respective electric vehicle;
for each respective image of the plurality of images of electric vehicles:
determining, without user intervention, a characteristic of the respective electric vehicle;
tagging, without user intervention, the respective image with the characteristic of the respective electric vehicle; and
training a first machine learning algorithm to identify the characteristic of other electric vehicles using the tagged plurality of images.
