1. A method for supplying power for electric vehicle, the method being performed by a plurality of mobile charging modules, the method comprising:
receiving, by the plurality of mobile charging modules, power from a power source;
outputting, by a first mobile charging module of the plurality of mobile charging modules, a first signal in response to receiving the power from the power source;
collecting, by the first mobile charging module, a plurality of second signals, which have been outputted by second mobile charging modules of the plurality of mobile charging modules in response to receiving the power from the power source;
selecting, by the first mobile charging module, one or more second charging modules of the plurality of charging modules using a parameter of the first signal and a parameter of the plurality of second signals;
grouping, by the first mobile charging module, the first mobile charging module and the selected one or more second charging modules into one group; and
determining, by the first mobile charging module, an amount of power supplying by the grouped charging modules to connected devices by sharing of information between the grouped charging modules, and receiving, by the grouped charging modules, the determined amount of power from the power source.
