Electric vehicle equipment for grid-integrated vehicles

An electric vehicle equipment (EVE) apparatus of an electric vehicle for interfacing the electric vehicle with an electric power grid, the EVE comprising:

• at least one station communication port for interfacing with electric vehicle station equipment (EVSE) that is electrically coupled to the power grid;
• at least one vehicle communication port for interfacing with a vehicle management system (VMS);
• a processor coupled to the at least one station communication port and the at least one vehicle communication port, the processor configured to establish communication with the EVSE via the at least one station communication port, receive EVSE attributes from the EVSE, received requests from an aggregation server, and issue commands to the VMS to manage a timing, a rate and a direction of power flow between the EVE and the electric power grid through the EVSE based on operational parameters determined from the EVSE attributes and the requests from the aggregation server.
