Electric Vehicle Charging Station Dynamically Responding to Power Limit Messages Based on a Recent History of Power Provided

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that provides instructions that, if executed by a processor, will cause said processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a message that indicates a request to limit an amount of power to an identified percentage, wherein the message is applicable to one or more of the set of charging ports;
• and
• for each of the set of charging ports that the message is applicable, performing the following:
• based on a history of power provided through that charging port over a period of time, causing the amount of power that is capable of being provided through that charging port to be limited according to the identified percentage.

An apparatus, comprising:

• an electric vehicle charging station including:
• a charging port configured to electrically connect to an electric vehicle to provide power to charge that electric vehicle;
• a power control unit coupled with the charging port, the power control unit configured to control an amount of power provided through the charging port;
• and
• a set of one or more charging station control modules that are configured to perform the following:
• in response to receipt of a message that indicates a request to limit an amount of power to an identified percentage and based on a history of power provided through the charging port over a period of time, cause the power control unit to limit the power provided through the charging port to the identified percentage.
