Systems and methods for utilizing steam powered “green energy” for an electric charging system for charging electric vehicles are disclosed. A control unit may manage the electricity generation and delivery to a high voltage charging station, e.g., 480+V. A steam source may provide pressurized steam to a turbine and generator to generate electricity, or store it for later in a storage unit, for delivery to the charging station. The control unit may assist in regulating the flow of the pressurized steam through one or more valves. The control unit may also be in communication with, at least, the generator and charging station to identify charging requirements, manage electricity distribution and consumption, deliver electricity to the charging station, and determine billing based on delivery. Generated electricity may be “stored” in the batteries of an electric vehicle when the batteries are charged, and then later, the vehicle's batteries may be utilized in a “vehicle-to-grid” system whereby the electrical power in the vehicle's batteries is supplied, e.g., through a home Level 2 charging station with vehicle-to-grid technology, to the electrical grid.
