Abstract
Embodiments include a multi-level electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) unit. The multi-level EVSE unit can include a Level 2 charge handle, a receptacle configured to receive the Level 2 charge handle, and a Level 1 outlet including one or more plug outlets configured to receive one or more corresponding Level 1 plugs. The Level 2 charge handle can be permanently attached to the multi-level EVSE unit via a cable. The Level 1 outlet can temporarily receive the one or more corresponding Level 1 plugs. A first power meter associated with the Level 2 charge handle can meter power delivered via the Level 2 charge handle. A second power meter associated with the Level 1 outlet can meter power delivered via the Level 1 outlet. A charging logic and relay section can intelligently allocate power between the Level 2 handle and the Level 1 outlet according to charging rules.
