Abstract
An electric vehicle charging station detects a property of a charging cable connected to the electric vehicle charging station and determines, based on the detected property, an ampere capacity of the charging cable. The electric vehicle charging station automatically sets a maximum amperage output of the electric vehicle charging station to not exceed the determined ampere capacity of the charging cable.
