Abstract
An apparatus for implementing a power distribution system for electric vehicles charging within a structure that includes a battery for storing electrical energy. A power node module connects to an electrical grid of the structure at a preexisting load point to receive an electric current at a first power level. The power node module charges the battery responsive to the received electric current at the first power level and generates a charging current at a second power level for charging a connected electric vehicle using the stored electrical energy of the battery responsive to a received charging control signal. At least one charger connector connected to the power node module connects the connected electric vehicle to receive the charging current.
