a first power connection interconnecting the station to a power grid of the house;
a first power converter configured to supply power to and draw power from the electric vehicle;
a data processing device configured to process information;
a communication interface configured to send and to receive data from a user and/or a server; and
a second power connection for interconnecting an additional source of energy to the station,
wherein the station is directly connected to said energy producer and consumer
wherein the station is configured to receive information on a power provided by the first power connection from a power metering device of the power grid,
wherein the station is configured to receive, via the communication interface, a value indicative of a maximum allowed power that can be consumed from the power grid through the main power inlet of the house, and
wherein the data processing device is configured to control a power supplied to and drawn from the electric vehicle, taking into account a power from the additional source of energy, to prevent exceeding a limits of power consumption from the network and injection in the network.
