The Biden administration is poised to unveil new tariffs on imported Chinese electric vehicles, creating a potential roadblock for Chinese automakers wanting to expand into the American market.
That makes sense…if the charger is aware of its own load and the load of the whole house, it can slow down or stop charging to let the other stuff catch up.
I don’t know where you are but 3-Phase is rather uncommon in US Residential. We use split-phase, where we have two 120v lines that use a common neutral, and we get 240v across the two 120v hots (with no neutral…but some 240V outlets do have a neutral leg for parts of the appliance needing 120V.
A while ago, the YouTuber Technology Connections did a segment on the Span smart panel…and I think there’s a handful of others…that measures the load of each circuit and can triage circuits if there’s too much demand. This is really where smart appliances should be heading. It’s cool that my dryer can tell me how many KWh are consumed by a load, but I’d much rather it be able to cooperate with all my other loads and maybe turn off the heating element for a bit.
