US 2026/0100076 A1 · ELECTRIC VEHICLE LOAD BALANCING THROUGH INDICATOR CONTROL

Abstract

An electric vehicle charging system (EVCS) for load balancing by directing the placement of electric vehicles requiring access to electrical supply charging equipment (EVSE) to one or more of the EVSE using one or more indicators in proximity to the EVSE. One or more controllers may be configured to select one or more of the EVSE to be used by a next electric vehicle requiring access to one of the EVSE by identifying the one or more EVSE whose use will manage a load across the plurality of electrical supply components and control one or more of the one or more indicators to indicate that the selected one or more of the EVSE is to be used by the next vehicle requiring access to one of the EVSE.
