Forward thinking IMO. Will require “upgrading” at many parks…increased expenses at mom and pops to compete. Do electric cars “monitor” the power they are receiving?

Yes, or at least the ones I am familiar with do. Charge current can also be limited to whatever the driver wants down to 5 amps. They (the electric vehicle) will however never pull more than the EVSE (charge station) says they can have. Keep in mind that these are AC charge stations (not chargers) and they feed 240 volts at max 40 amps to the cars built in chargers. As per the article they are 10 KW units. They would need their own 50 amp breaker on the pedestal.
