1. A charging method comprising:

  • detecting, by a computer processor of a computing apparatus, a frequency signal associated with an input voltage signal used for powering power consumption devices at a first specified location;

    monitoring, by said computer processor, said frequency signal;

    generating, by said computer processor, frequency level data associated with said monitoring;

    receiving, by said computer processor from a first user, a request to enable a charging process for charging a rechargeable power source;

    receiving, by said computer processor, first power source data associated with said rechargeable power source and said first user;

    receiving, by said computer processor, calendar entry data associated with current and future plans of said first user;

    receiving, by said computer processor, electrical cost data associated with current electrical costs with respect to off peak electrical costs and future electrical costs;

    receiving, by said computer processor, operation data associated with a specified time that said apparatus is required for operation; and

    enabling, by said computer processor based on said frequency level data, said calendar entry data, said electrical cost data, said operation data, and said first power source data, a first customized charging process associated with said charging said rechargeable power source, wherein said first customized charging process comprises automatically postponing a first charge cycle for a first specific time period.
