I'm looking for pointers to charging stations that can be configured as a group to not exceed the buildings available power. Either by reading the current buildings power load or by having a defined maximum value the EV charging network must stay below.
The setup is a condominium building with owner owned parking spots with individual power meters in the garage. So, each service could be wired to each owner’s meter. But each port would need to be managed in some way to avoid overloading the building.
Additionally, I’d rather not have a monthly subscription to such a setup. I know Charge Point has something but in addition to paying for each station they want 20/month per charging port. On one hand that doesn’t sound like a lot, but on the other if you don’t drive a lot in a month it could double the cost to charge. And some owners would need 2 ports given how the garage is setup.
