Systems and methods for transferring energy from a vehicle

A method performed by a transfer switch configured to transfer power to a building, the method comprising:

• obtaining, by the switch processor, an activation signal from the vehicle, wherein the activation signal indicates that a vehicle power transfer mode is activated, and wherein the switch processor determines that the power supply communication between the transfer switch and the vehicle is established responsive to obtaining the activation signal;
• determining, by a switch processor, that a power supply communication between the transfer switch and a vehicle is established;
• determining, by the processor, that a predefined condition is met based on inputs associated with a utility power supply of a power grid obtained from a switch detection unit, when the power supply communication is established, wherein the switch detection unit is configured to monitor the utility power supply from the power grid;
• and
• enabling, by the switch processor, the vehicle to supply power to the building responsive to a determination that the predefined condition is met.
