This invention is based on the availability of Electric Vehicles with onboard inverters and receptacles to supply significant amounts of AC power from the main propulsion batteries of the vehicles. It embodies a system comprising an apparatus and methods for bidirectionally connecting one or more electric vehicles at a workplace or multifamily residence to one or more distribution panels supplying critical loads and one or more panels supplying interruptible loads such that the vehicle(s) can supply back up power to critical loads during a grid outage. The bidirectional connection also enables V2G operation to enable energy arbitrage, demand response, and ancillary services to the grid.
