METHOD OF RECEIVING ENERGY REQUEST FROM A CHARGING STATION

A first vehicle is described. The first vehicle comprises: a memory; and a processor. The processor is operable to receive a first discharge request message from a charging station; analyze the first discharge request message; extract information of at least a location of the charging station and first required charge; determine whether a state-of-charge of battery packs of the first vehicle is sufficient to reach the charging station and provide the first required charge to the charging station; display a user interactive menu depicting a monetization opportunity and an optimized route to the charging station upon determining that the state-of-charge of the first vehicle is sufficient to reach the charging station and to provide the first required charge; and generate and communicate a first response message to the charging station based on interaction with the user interactive menu to schedule a discharging event with the charging station.
