1. A method for delivering energy to an electric vehicle, said method comprising: receiving, by an energy delivery device coupled to the electric vehicle via a connector, a unique identifier of the electric vehicle via the connector;determining, by a server system coupled to said energy delivery device over a network, an account associated with the identifier;delivering, by the energy delivery device, an amount of energy to the electric vehicle via the connector;determining, by the server system, a transaction amount to charge the account based on the amount of energy delivered to the electric vehicle by the energy delivery device;comparing the amount of energy delivered by the energy delivery device and the amount of energy received at the electric vehicle when the transaction amount has been determined; andperforming an action when the amount of energy delivered at the energy delivery device is equal to the amount of energy received at the electric vehicle. 2. A method in accordance with claim 1, wherein coupling the electric vehicle to the energy delivery device comprises coupling the electric vehicle to the energy delivery device via one of an alternating current (AC) power cable and a direct current (DC) power cable. 3. A method in accordance with claim 1, wherein determining an account comprises: accessing a database;searching for the identifier in the database; anddetermining the account based on the search results. 4. A method in accordance with claim 3, wherein determining the account further comprises transmitting the identifier from the energy delivery device via a network to said server system coupled to the database. 5. A method in accordance with claim 1, wherein determining a transaction amount comprises metering the amount of energy delivered at the energy delivery device to the electric vehicle. 6. A method in accordance with claim 5, wherein metering the amount of energy delivered comprises metering the amount of energy delivered at the energy delivery device and an amount of energy received at the electric vehicle. 7. A method in accordance with claim 6, wherein performing an action comprises generating a receipt. 8. A method in accordance with claim 1, further comprising: transmitting the amount of energy delivered to said server system;determining the transaction amount based on the amount of energy delivered; anddeducting the transaction amount from the account. 9. A system for providing energy delivery to an electric vehicle, said system comprising: an energy delivery device coupled to the electric vehicle via a connector, said energy delivery device configured to: receive a unique identifier of the electric vehicle via said connector;deliver an amount of energy to the electric vehicle via said connector;compare the amount of energy delivered to the electric vehicle and the amount of energy received from said energy delivery device; andperform an action when the amount of energy delivered to the electric vehicle is equal to the amount of energy received from said energy delivery device; anda server system coupled to said energy delivery device over a network, said server system configured to: determine an account associated with the identifier; anddetermine a transaction amount to charge the account based on the amount of energy delivered to the electric vehicle by said energy delivery device. 10. A system in accordance with claim 9, wherein said connector comprises one of an alternating current (AC) power cable and a direct current (DC) power cable. 11. A system in accordance with claim 9, wherein said server system comprises a database and a computer coupled to said database, said computer is configured to: access said database;search for the identifier in said database; anddetermine the account based on the search results. 12. A system in accordance with claim 11, wherein said energy delivery device is configured to transmit the identifier to said server system via a network. 13. A system in accordance with claim 9, wherein said energy delivery device comprises a meter configured to determine the amount of energy delivered to the electric vehicle, and said electric vehicle comprises a meter configured to determine an amount of energy received from said energy delivery device. 14. A system in accordance with claim 13, wherein said energy delivery device is configured to perform an action, wherein the action includes generating a receipt. 15. A system in accordance with claim 13, wherein said meter is further configured to: transmit the amount of energy delivered to said server system;said server system is configured to determine the transaction amount based on the amount of energy delivered; andto deduct the transaction amount from the account.
