Abstract
An energy facility, such as a charge station operable for charging electrified vehicles, includes a controller. The controller controls the energy facility to charge at a current time an EV present at the charge station with electricity stored in an onsite battery of the charge station in response to an amount of renewable energy expected to be available at the charge station at a future time during which the EV is expected to not be present at the charge station exceeding an available electricity storage capacity of the onsite battery.
