1. A system, comprising:
a memory that stores computer executable components; and
a processor that executes at least one of the computer executable components that:
identifies a group of energy resources comprising renewable energy resources, non-renewable energy resources, and electric vehicles plugged into bidirectional charging stations of a vehicle charging network;
determines, according to a defined green energy rating process, a respective green energy rating for each energy resource of the group of the energy resources, wherein the respective green energy ratings for the electric vehicles is based on the respective percentage of current battery charge of the electric vehicles is from renewable energy resources;
selects, based upon a defined charging criterion, an energy resource of the group of the energy resources available to a bidirectional charging station electrically coupled to an electric vehicle, wherein the defined charging criterion is based on current energy market demand, a unit price applicable to the energy resource, and the green energy rating of the energy resource; and
remotely controls the bidirectional charging station to transfer energy from the energy resource to the electric vehicle according to the defined charging criterion, wherein in response to the selected energy resource being another electric vehicle and the defined charging criterion specifying a defined percentage of the energy that must be from renewable energy resources, remotely controlling the transfer of the energy comprises limiting an amount of energy transferred from the other electric vehicle based on the defined percentage of the energy specified in the defined charging criterion and the respective percentage of current battery charge of the other electric vehicle that is from renewable energy resources.
