ELECTRIC VEHICLE STATION EQUIPMENT

A method for transferring power between an electric power grid and an electric vehicle. The method comprises: maintaining, by electric vehicle station equipment (EVSE) separate from the electric vehicle and electrically coupled to the electric power grid, EVSE attributes, the EVSE attributes including a forward flow limit indicating the maximum allowable flow of power into the electric vehicle from the EVSE and a reverse flow limit indicating the maximum allowable flow of power into the EVSE from the electric vehicle; receiving, by the EVSE, a dynamic forward flow limit and a dynamic reverse flow limit; updating, on the basis of the received dynamic forward flow limit and dynamic reverse flow limit, the EVSE attributes; establishing, by the EVSE, communication with an electric vehicle equipment (EVE) inside the electric vehicle; and transmitting, by the EVSE, the EVSE attributes to the EVE for use in controlling power flow between the electric vehicle and the electric power grid.
