Abstract

A system for charging an electric vehicle in a facility includes a current sensor adapted to obtain an input current signal for a power source in the facility. An electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) is configured to charge the electric vehicle through the power source based at least partially on a control pilot signal. A controller has a processor and tangible, non-transitory memory on which instructions are recorded for dynamically adjusting the control pilot signal based on the input current signal. The control pilot signal is set to a predefined maximum when the input current signal is less than a main circuit breaker rating of the facility. The controller is configured to reduce the control pilot signal from the predefined maximum when the input current signal is at or above the main circuit breaker rating.
