Claim 16:
17. An electric vehicle comprising:
an on-board processing unit configured to operatively couple with a power grid system; and
a memory unit having instructions that, in response to execution by the processing unit, cause the processing unit to:
determine a capacity of the power grid system by communicating with the power grid system via a network;
determine a power demand level of the electric vehicle to satisfy one or more mission requirements of the electric vehicle;
compare the power demand level of the electric vehicle with the capacity of the power grid system;
redistribute an electrical load increment of the electric vehicle based on a predetermined priority such that a redistributed electrical load increment is configured to increase a total amount of charging time as compared to the electrical load increment before the redistributing; and
charge the electric vehicle based on the redistributed electrical load increment.
