This invention has as its objective provision of a method and apparatus to enable the batteries of Electric Vehicles (EV)s to level the electric demand in buildings to reduce demand charges based on instantaneous demand for electric power. This load leveling is done by connecting the EV to the building electrical system by its conventional Alternating Current (AC) recharging connection, and by an additional Direct Current (DC) path supporting intermittent loads. In this way the EV battery stands between the AC energy source and the intermittent load and reduces the electric power drawn from the grid to a constant minimum level, thereby minimizing demand charges.
