Abstract
System, apparatus, and methodology for the provisioning of power to electrical loads and an EV charging station in a multi-dwelling building environment. Two electrically parallel configured circuit breakers, one to the tenant residence and one to an EV charging station, are connected to two load straps connected to a meter socket. The load straps are configured to supply simultaneous power to both the appliances of a tenant residence and an EV charging station.
