  • Publication number: 20250192692
    Abstract: A system that includes a breaker interface to a breaker panel with breakers, a DC bus with a variable voltage, and a bidirectional DC terminal. The bidirectional DC terminal is connected, at least electrically, to the DC bus via a first interface. An EV charger is able to connect, at least electrically, to the bidirectional DC terminal via a second interface. A power storage interface connects to one or more power storage modules. If the EV charger is connected to the bidirectional DC terminal via the second interface, the EV charger is able to be powered at least some of the time by the power storage modules, even if all of the breakers are in use and even if a first load associated with the EV charger and a second load associated with all of the breakers would, if combined, exceed a breaker panel limit.
