An electric vehicle (EV) to EV battery charger is provided, where a source EV provides electrical charge to a recipient EV to recharge the recipient EV's battery, without requiring a connection to a grid line. The battery charger includes an input port configured to couple to an electrical port of a source electric vehicle. A power control circuit of the battery charger receives a source power signal from the source electric vehicle through the input port. A converter circuit of the battery charger converts the source power signal to an output power signal according to power requirements of a recipient electric vehicle. The battery charger further includes an output port configured to couple to a charging port of a recipient electric vehicle. A microcontroller of the battery charger is configured to manage a transfer of the output power signal to the recipient electric vehicle through the output port.
