1. An access control system for electric vehicle charging comprising:
a) an access device comprising a short-range wireless communication module connected to a processor having control of an electric vehicle charger;
b) a secure reservation interface to receive a reservation request for a reservation at a given destination, the reservation interface comprising one or more screens for receiving a selection of at least an interval of the reservation;
c) a reservation server, in communication with the reservation interface and a network, to:
receive the reservation request for the destination, the reservation request including at least the interval of the reservation;
issue a reservation certificate comprising the interval of the reservation based on at least the reservation request;
transmit, via the network, from the reservation server to a wireless device, at least the reservation certificate;
d) a wireless device application installed on the wireless device to receive the reservation certificate, the application having access to a short range wireless communication setting corresponding to the access device, wherein the application determines whether the reservation certificate is revoked on the basis of a further communication with the reservation server, the wireless device comprises a transmission module that wirelessly transmits the reservation certificate to the access device using the short-range wireless communication setting when the wireless device on which the application is installed is within short-range wireless transmission distance of the access device if the reservation certificate is not revoked; and
e) wherein, if the reservation certificate is not revoked, the access device receives the reservation certificate from the application based on use by the application of the short-range wireless communication setting, and the processor activates the electric vehicle charger based on at least the receipt of the reservation certificate, otherwise the processor does not activate the electric vehicle charger.
