1. A method of managing at least one transfer of energy, said method comprising:
- determining a selection associated with an interface of a plurality of interfaces, wherein each interface of said plurality of interfaces is configured to transfer energy between an energy storage medium of a vehicle and at least one component of an energy transfer system, wherein said energy transfer system is separate from said vehicle;
performing an energy transfer, via said interface, between said energy storage medium of said vehicle and said at least one component of said energy transfer system;
responsive to a problem associated with performance of said energy transfer, determining another interface as an alternative to said interface; and
resuming said energy transfer using said another interface.
