  • Automatically sensing a type of charging cable and setting maximum amperage output of an electric vehicle charging station accordingly
    Patent number: 10160324
    Abstract: An electric vehicle charging station detects a property of a charging cable connected to the electric vehicle charging station and determines, based on the detected property, an ampere capacity of the charging cable. The electric vehicle charging station automatically sets a maximum amperage output of the electric vehicle charging station to not exceed the determined ampere capacity of the charging cable.

  • Breakaway mechanism for charging cables of electric vehicle charging stations
    Patent number: 8410369
    Abstract: A breakaway mechanism for a charging cable of an electric vehicle charging station includes a retention component and a breakaway component. The retention component is secured to the charging station and the breakaway component is secured to the charging cable. The charging cable passes through the breakaway component and includes charging wires that connect to connectors on the charging station. The breakaway component is adapted to disengage from the retention component at a predetermined pull force thereby causing the charging wires to disconnect from the connectors on the charging station.
