In a number of embodiments, an Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) connector (), includes a plurality of charging lines () configured to provide electrical charge to an electric vehicle (EV) () at least one control line () configured to carry signals to control charging of the EV via the charging lines () and a detector () that detects a thermal event, wherein in response to detecting a thermal event the detector () manipulates the at least one control line () to alter charging of the EV via the charging lines ().

Thermal management of electric vehicle coupler contacts

A method of charging an electric vehicle (EV) includes receiving a user's authentication code in an electric vehicle service equipment (EVSE) from a user's mobile device, comparing in the EVSE the user's authentication code to a whitelist having a plurality of authorized user authentication codes, and enabling an electric vehicle (EV) charging transaction serviced by the EVSE in response to the comparing of the user's authentication code to the whitelist so that a user's authentication code is authenticated to enable the EV charging transaction without concurrent access to an EVSE-related remote server.

System for charging an electric vehicle (EV)

Systems, devices, and methods for an electrical switch including: an enclosure; a hinged armature disposed within the enclosure; a moveable contact electrically coupled to the hinged armature and disposed substantially parallel to the hinged armature; and a rib positioned between the hinged armature and an outer edge of the electrical switch, where the rib transfers external forces applied to the electrical switch to the enclosure by limiting movement of the hinged armature towards an outer edge of the electrical switch.
