Systems, devices, and methods for smart chain charging of electric vehicles. A system has a dock and one or more electric vehicles supporting rechargeable batteries. One or more electric vehicles may be coupled in series in a smart chain at the dock. Each electric vehicle has a charger with a plug and a receptacle. The plug may couple to a dock receptacle, if the vehicle is first in the smart chain, or to a receptacle on a neighboring electric vehicle at the end of a smart chain of vehicles electrically coupled to the dock. The receptacle may receive a plug of a neighboring electrical vehicle. Each charger may include an interface, battery charger and a battery monitor. The interface may carry power and transfer data into and out of the charger along the smart chain. Each battery monitor may output battery monitor data and receive battery charging control information.
