1. A method for optimizing power distribution amongst one or more electrical supply equipment stations at a power distribution site for supplying power to one or more vehicles and one or more electrically powered accessories docked at the one or more electrical supply equipment stations, the method comprising:
obtaining infrastructure data about the power distribution site;
obtaining vehicle/accessory data from the one or more electrically powered accessories and one or more vehicles demanding power from the one or more electrical supply equipment stations;
obtaining external data from an external source that can impact power demand from the one or more electrically powered accessories;
generating an optimized power distribution schedule based on the infrastructure data, the vehicle/accessory data and the external data;
distributing power to the one or more electrically powered accessories docked at the one or more electrical supply equipment stations based on the optimized power distribution schedule; and
comprising generating a feedback notification to a user of a particular electrically powered accessory of the one or more electrically powered accessories docked at the one or more electrical supply equipment stations regarding the optimized power distribution schedule, wherein the feedback notification includes a notification when power is being distributed to the particular electrically powered accessory.
