EVSE energy management system retrofit coupling

摘要

An adapter which can be retrofit onto the downstream end of a standard Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment connector is used to control power consumption of an Electric Vehicle charging facility by intercepting the Control Pilot Signal going to the Electric Vehicle and issuing a new Control Pilot Signal to the Electric Vehicle which is particularly tailored for the present use, requirements and limitations of the delivery system capability. The adapter has wireless communication capability, requires no wiring to and from the Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment, is independent of any proprietary designs of the Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment and adds no constraints or requirements to the Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment.
