V2x utilizing a meter

A system for controlling a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) compatible electric vehicle charger, the system comprising:

• a multi-port meter comprising:
• a grid port configured for connecting the meter to an electric power grid;
• an auxiliary port configured for connecting the meter to the electric vehicle charger;
• a load port configured for connecting the meter to a premises load;
• a grid switch connected to the grid port and configured for connecting the grid port to the load port;
• an auxiliary switch configured for connecting the auxiliary port to the grid switch and the load port;
• a bi-directional communication channel configured for communications between the system and the electric vehicle charger or an electric vehicle connected to the electric vehicle charger;
• and
• a control unit, the control unit comprising one or more processors configured for processing power grid data measured by the meter and controlling states of the grid switch and the auxiliary switch;
• wherein the system is configured to:
• responsive to a first condition, determine that the electric vehicle charger should cease charging a battery of an electric vehicle;
• transmit a signal to the electric vehicle charger to cease charging the battery of the electric vehicle;
• responsive to a second condition, determine that the electric vehicle charger should resume charging the battery of the electric vehicle;
• and
• transmit a second signal to the electric vehicle charger to resume charging the battery of the electric vehicle.

A method of controlling a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) compatible electric vehicle charger, method comprising:

• operatively connecting a multi-port meter to an electric power grid via a grid port of a multi-port meter;
• operatively connecting the multi-port meter to an electric vehicle charger via an auxiliary port of the multi-port meter;
• operatively connecting the multi-port meter to premises load via a load port of the multi-port meter;
• opening a grid switch to electrically disconnect the grid port and the load port;
• transmitting a signal to the electric vehicle charger to turn on its V2X output to an output mode;
• and
• providing the output of the electric vehicle charge to the premises load via the auxiliary port and the load port.
