A system (200) for recharging a refrigeration system (100) of a vehicle is provided. The system (200) includes a refrigerant delivery device (202) configured to removably couple to a recharge port (120, 122) of the refrigeration system (100). The refrigerant delivery device (202) comprises a controller (216), a refrigerant container (206), and at least one sensor (204). The controller (216) is configured to communicatively couple with User Equipment (UE) (218) of a user over a communication channel. The refrigerant container (206) stores a refrigerant. The at least one sensor is configured to measure one or more parameters of the refrigeration system. The controller (216) is configured to transmit, via the communication channel, the one or more parameters of the refrigeration system (100) to the UE (218), receive, via the communication channel, one or more commands from the UE (218) to perform a recharge process for the refrigeration system (100), and selectively deliver the refrigerant to the refrigeration system (100) in response to the one or more commands.
