System and methods for electric vehicle charging are described. A preferred charging rate associated with an electric vehicle is determined. The preferred charging rate is compared with a first charging rate associated with a utility service current source and a second charging rate associated with an electrical energy storage device. The utility service current source supports the first charging rate and the electrical energy storage device supports the second charging rate, where the second charging rate is greater than the first charging rate. A transfer switch is instructed to select one of the utility service current source and the electrical energy storage device based on the comparison. The transfer switch is coupled to an electric vehicle charger and supplies current to the electric vehicle charger via the selected current source. The electric vehicle is charged at the preferred charging rate using at least the selected current source.
