Abstract
A system and a method to upgrade an existing standard Electric Vehicle (EV) charger from Grid to EV (V1G) to Vehicle to Grid (V2G) in order to send power from a grid to an EV as well as from the EV to the grid. The method comprises loading the existing standard EV charger initially developed to support only V1G with a V2G compatible firmware. The method further comprises locally configuring the existing standard EV charger for V2G operation to locally enable the existing standard EV charger to allow V2G functionality after an inspection such that the existing standard EV charger supports a V2G communication interface for bi-directional charging/discharging of electric vehicles (EVs). A local configuration requires an authorization via a cloud for conversion of the existing standard EV charger from V1G to V2G.
