Information
Definition
Power sharing divides available charging power between multiple outlets or chargers, often reducing output when more vehicles are connected. It is normally assessed against site capacity, maximum demand, charger grouping and the behaviour expected when electrical demand changes.
Why it matters
It affects real-world charging speed and is essential to understand when comparing dual outlet or multi-charger systems. For UK users, it affects whether EV charging can be added without unnecessary supply upgrades or nuisance limitation of other site loads.
