Dynamic output control of vehicle chargers with respective internal batteries

An electric vehicle (EV) charging station configured to prevent battery damage, the EV charging station comprising:

• an EV charging station battery;
• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory program memory communicatively coupled to the one or more processors and storing executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the EV charging station to:
• measure an input power, wherein the input power is a power received from a power source at an input port of the EV charging station;
• determine if the input power is above an input power threshold value;
• when the input power is above the input power threshold value, measure a battery charge level of the EV charging station battery;
• determine if the battery charge level is below a low charge threshold level;
• when the battery charge level is below the low charge threshold level, reserve, for the EV charging station battery, a portion of the input power to charge the EV charging station battery;
• and
• charge the battery with the reserved portion of the input power regardless of a power output requested by an EV;
• wherein the input power threshold value is a first input power threshold value, and wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the EV charging station to:
• determine if the input power is above a second input power threshold value;
• and
• when the input power is above the second input power threshold value, enable multiple charging heads of the EV charging station.

A computer-implemented method for preventing damage to a battery of an electric vehicle (EV) charging station, the method comprising:

• measuring, by one or more sensors of the EV charging station, an input power, wherein the input power is a power received from a power source at an input port of the EV charging station;
• determining, by an EV charging station controller of the EV charging station, that the input power is above an input power threshold value;
• in response to the determination that the input power is above the input power threshold value, determining, by the EV charging station controller, a battery charge level of the battery of the EV charging station;
• determining, by the EV charging station controller, that the battery charge level is below a low charge threshold level;
• in response to determining that the battery charge level is below the low charge threshold level, reserving, by the EV charging station controller, a portion of the input power to charge the battery;
• and
• charging the battery with the reserved portion of the input power regardless of a power output requested by an EV;
• wherein the input power threshold value is a first input power threshold value, and wherein the method further comprises:
• determining, by the EV charging station controller, that the input power is above a second input power threshold value;
• and
• in response to determining that the input power is above the second input power threshold value, enabling, by the EV charging station controller, multiple charging heads of the EV charging station.
