SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RADIO FREQUENCY-BASED TRANSACTIONS

Techniques for facilitating electric vehicle charging include a consumer vehicle computing device in a consumer's vehicle identifying a mobile charging vehicle and scanning a machine-readable code displayed thereon. The consumer vehicle computing device detects a failure in scanning the code. The consumer selects an AM/FM radio frequency in response to the scanning failure and the consumer vehicle computing device receives a radio broadcast from the mobile charging vehicle on the selected frequency. The broadcast includes charging information. The consumer vehicle computing device transmits a charging connection message to the charging merchant, including the charging information. The consumer vehicle computing device permits the consumer vehicle to receive charging from the mobile charging vehicle.
