A grid-connected electric vehicle charging station system and method. Installing electric vehicle charging stations are typically high in cost, particularly due to requiring the utility grid to be upgraded to increase the electrical power routed to a respective customer site. In contrast, the system and method disclosed are low-footprint behind-the-meter solution that does not require any upgrade to the utility grid and that use the existing power capacity at a customer site. More particularly, the system and method rely on renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaics and batteries, as the primary source of energy to power the electric vehicles and rely on the utility grid connection for backup (limited to the existing electrical power routed to the respective customer site). In this way, the grid-connected electric vehicle charging station system and method may enable powering of electric vehicles while still allowing for easy installations at a customer site.
