Abstract
Systems composed of chargers that allow vehicles to control parameters of power, or that allow vehicles to receive power having parameters the power connector usually is used for, or parameters that a charger estimated based on voltage that the charger measures at the vehicle's connector, or that has parameters that a charger calculated based information about the vehicle's energy storage device that the vehicle sends to the charger.
