8. A method for powering a building by selectively providing power from a true electric vehicle, comprising:
identifying, by a processing device of an intelligent electric switching device of a power management device coupled between an electric meter and a building, a first characteristic of a first available source of power defined by an electrical grid in communication with the electric meter, the electric meter being coupled between the electrical grid and an electrical load of the building;
selecting, by the processing device and based at least in part on the identified first characteristic of the first available source of power, a second available source of power comprising a battery of a True Electric Car (TEC) comprising a GUI with a graphical slider interface element and being in communication with a parking space charge device coupled to the power management device; and
selectively providing, by the processing device and to the building and via the parking space charge device, power from the second available source of power,
wherein the selective providing of the power from the second available source of power to the building comprises transmitting data between the parking space charge device and the TEC, and wherein the data comprises preference data governing at least one of the charging and discharging of the battery of the TEC, and wherein the preference data is defined by user input received via the graphical slider interface element.
