Abstract: An electric vehicle charging system includes multiple electric vehicle charging stations, each suitable for charging at least one electric vehicle, and a computing device. The computing device is for determining that a present load exceeds a predetermined peak load, the present load made up of the combined present loads of the multiple electric vehicle charging stations, identifying at least two of the multiple electric vehicle charging stations for adjustment of an electrical load, and adjusting the electrical load of the at least two of the multiple electric vehicle charging stations to arrive at an adjusted load across the multiple electric vehicle charging stations, such that the adjusted load is less than the predetermined peak load.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method and a system for management of electric vehicle charging station queues. The method includes maintaining a plurality of requests to utilize the electric vehicle charging station in a queue defining an order of electric vehicles to be charged at the electric vehicle charging station and sensing that a charging vehicle at an electric vehicle charging station and associated with a first vehicle operator has completed a charging process. The method further includes notifying the first vehicle operator that the charging process is completed and providing an allotted vacation time period in which the first vehicle operator may vacate the charging vehicle from the electric vehicle charging station and increasing the cost associated with continued charging of the charging vehicle if the charging vehicle is not vacated from the electric vehicle charging station within the allotted vacation time.
