Systems and methods for charging of electric vehicles with charge balancing between multiple electric vehicle charging stations in a local area network

A method for controlling a charging of multiple electric vehicles in a local area network of vehicle charging stations, the local area network including a first electric vehicle charging station and a second electric vehicle charging station, the method comprising:

• transmitting, from the first electric vehicle charging station, a charge transfer request for the electric vehicle to the cloud server via the mobile device, wherein a user of the mobile device is associated with the electric vehicle to be charged, wherein the message relayed through the mobile device includes identification information, wherein the first electric vehicle charging station is connected to an electric power grid using the local area network, and the electric power grid is further connected to a second electric vehicle charging station using the local area network;
• in response to the charge transfer request being authorized using identification information received from the mobile device, receiving a charging control signal from the cloud server at the first electric vehicle charging station using the local area network that enables a charge transfer from the first electric vehicle charging station to the electric vehicle;
• and
• determining charging transfers of the first electric vehicle charging station and the second electric vehicle charging station in relation to each other using received charging control signals via the local area network.

A system for controlling a charging of multiple electric vehicles in a local area network of vehicle charging stations, the local area network including a first electric vehicle charging station and a second electric vehicle charging station, the system comprising:

• a memory device in a vehicle charging station of the local area network, the memory device storing instructions thereon that when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:
• send, from the first electric vehicle charging station, a charge transfer request for an electric vehicle at the first electric vehicle charging station to a cloud server via a mobile device, wherein a user of the mobile device is associated with the electric vehicle to be charged, wherein the charge transfer request includes identification information, wherein the first electric vehicle charging station is connected to an electric power grid using the local area network, and the electric power grid is further connected to the second electric vehicle charging station using the local area network;
• in response to the charge transfer request being authorized using the identification information, receive a charging control signal from the cloud server via the mobile device at the first electric vehicle charging station using the local area network that enables a charge transfer from the first electric vehicle charging station to the electric vehicle;
• and
• employ logic to optimize a local load using the charging control signal of the first electric vehicle charging station in the local area network and a charging control signal of the second electric vehicle charging station in the local area network.
