Definition
Simultaneous charging means more than one vehicle can charge at the same time from a multi-outlet charger or grouped charger system. It is normally assessed against site capacity, maximum demand, charger grouping and the behaviour expected when electrical demand changes.
Why it matters
It matters because some chargers share power between outlets while others can deliver full output to multiple vehicles. For UK users, it affects whether EV charging can be added without unnecessary supply upgrades or nuisance limitation of other site loads.
