1. A system comprising:
a first charger connected to one of an aircraft, a watercraft, and a vehicle external from the system having at least one vehicle battery;
a second charger connected to an on board battery pack; and
at least one programmable logic controller (PLC) configured to:
manage communication between the at least one vehicle battery and the first charger to ensure that the at least one vehicle battery reaches a preset state of charge (SOC) comprising 90% state of charge and adjust a flow of coolant to the at least one vehicle battery to maximize a speed of charge;
manage communication between the on board battery pack and the second charger to ensure that the on board battery pack reaches the preset SOC, adjust a flow of coolant to the on board battery pack to maximize the speed of charge, and trigger the second charger to discontinue the charging session;
manage transfer of energy from the on board battery pack to the at least one vehicle battery and manage transfer of energy from the on board battery pack to one of a building and a microgrid; and
stop a flow of electricity to the first charger and the second charger, cease output of power when output is below 75% of generator output, and shut down the system.
