Multi-standard, alternating current or direct current compatible electric vehicle supply equipment

A multi-standard compatible electric vehicle supply equipment comprising:

• a plurality of different electric vehicle connectors each of which corresponds to one of a plurality of different electric vehicle standards;
• a power converter structured to input alternating current power and including an output structured to output direct current power;
• a first switch structured to selectively electrically connect a source of alternating current power to a number of said different electric vehicle connectors;
• a second switch structured to selectively electrically connect the output of said power converter to a selected one of said different electric vehicle connectors;
• a protocol interpretation and mapping component structured to employ a plurality of different communication protocols for said different electric vehicle connectors;
• an interface between said protocol interpretation and mapping component and said power converter;
• a first circuit structured to detect connectivity of one of said different electric vehicle connectors with an electric vehicle and responsively select one of a plurality of different charging modes, and to control said first switch, said second switch and a plurality of third switches;
• a second circuit structured to communicate with said electric vehicle through said selected one of said different electric vehicle connectors;
• and
• said plurality of third switches structured to electrically connect said protocol interpretation and mapping component to one of said first and second circuits.
