Abstract: The Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) described herein is designed for Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) power transfer, enabling the delivery of electrical power from an electric vehicle to an external electrical load. The EVSE includes an output connector for connecting to a vehicle connector via an output cord, an electronic controller, and a power supply. The power supply is capable of receiving a direct current (DC) control pilot signal transmitted through the vehicle connector via the output connector and supplying DC electrical power to the electronic controller based on the received control pilot signal. This innovative EVSE system facilitates efficient and controlled power transfer between electric vehicles and external loads, enhancing the versatility and functionality of electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

Abstract: A charging inlet includes a positive conductor terminal configured to interconnect with a positive inlet terminal within an inlet housing via a first fastener and further configured to be fused to a positive conductor. The charging inlet further includes a negative conductor terminal configured to interconnect with a negative inlet terminal within the inlet housing via a second fastener and further configured to be fused to a negative conductor.

Abstract: An electric vehicle supply equipment may include electrical power transfer circuitry having a power input and a power output. An electric vehicle supply equipment may include a recipient connector connected to the power output and configured to interconnect with a recipient charge port of a recipient vehicle. An electric vehicle supply equipment may include a donor connector connected to the power input and configured to interconnect with a donor charge port of a donor vehicle, wherein the donor connector has one or more electrical attributes that distinguish the donor connector from the recipient connector.

Abstract: An electrical distribution center includes a housing formed of an electrically nonconductive material, an electromagnetic housing shield formed of an electrically conductive material disposed within a cavity in the housing, a cover enclosing the cavity having an electromagnetic cover shield formed of the electrically conductive material and in electrical contact with the housing shield, and a plurality of shielded electrical connectors interconnected to one another through electrical components contained within the cavity. The electrical components are mounted on a plurality of standoffs defined by an inner surface of the housing. The plurality of standoffs extends through a plurality of apertures defined in the housing shield.
