A clustered charge distribution and prioritization system, comprising: a plurality of distributed processing units, each distributed processing unit configured to receive member information about an electric vehicle and to generate messages based on the member information received for each electric vehicle, wherein the member information includes information specific to the electric vehicle itself such as capacity, rating, real time power usage or charging time left; and a supply line breaker having a location power line limit associated therewith; the location power line limit being less than the total power that can be drawn by the electric vehicles during charging; a power distribution manager coupled to each of the distributed processing units, the power distribution manager including a prioritizer and being configured to perform a preliminary screening of the electric vehicles based on the messages and wherein the power distribution manager is also configured to determine a buffered power line limit, wherein the prioritizer is configured to determine a prioritization for charging the electric vehicles based on the member information received by each of the distributed processing units and wherein the prioritizer is also configured to prioritize charging of the electric vehicles so that the buffered power line limit is not exceeded, wherein the buffered power line limit is less than the location power line limit, and the preliminary screening includes: parsing each message to determine whether users of the electric vehicles are paid-up or delinquent members; and parsing each message to determine whether users of the electric vehicles are peak-rate members or off-peak preference members. a plurality of distributed processing units, each distributed processing unit configured to receive member information about an electric vehicle and to generate messages based on the member information received for each electric vehicle, wherein the member information includes information specific to the electric vehicle itself such as capacity, rating, real time power usage or charging time left; and a supply line breaker having a location power line limit associated therewith; the location power line limit being less than the total power that can be drawn by the electric vehicles during charging; a power distribution manager coupled to each of the distributed processing units, the power distribution manager including a prioritizer and being configured to perform a preliminary screening of the electric vehicles based on the messages and wherein the power distribution manager is also configured to determine a buffered power line limit, wherein the prioritizer is configured to determine a prioritization for charging the electric vehicles based on the member information received by each of the distributed processing units and wherein the prioritizer is also configured to prioritize charging of the electric vehicles so that the buffered power line limit is not exceeded, wherein the buffered power line limit is less than the location power line limit, and the preliminary screening includes: parsing each message to determine whether users of the electric vehicles are paid-up or delinquent members; and parsing each message to determine whether users of the electric vehicles are peak-rate members or off-peak preference members.
