A system and method for providing extreme fast charging of electric vehicles that mimics the typical gas station experience while also supporting local grid energy management using a distributed network of extremely fast charging stations to form a large virtual resource for the grid. The system consists of a controller unit responsible for system operation tasks, a high-voltage battery pack capable of rapid discharge rates to support extreme fast charging, a cloud-based database to persist and manage system and network data, a DC electric vehicle outlet for providing charging, safety systems, and power electronic equipment configured to allow bi-directional flow of power between a local, low-voltage AC grid and the extreme fast charging station. The bi-directional capabilities of the power electronic circuits within the system allow the charging station to provide power resources, stored within the high-voltage battery pack, to help support local grid power consumption.
