CHARGING DEVICE AND METHODS OF AUTHORIZING A CHARGING REQUEST
First Claim
1. A charging device comprising:
- a power delivery system configured to supply power to at least one load coupled to said charging device; and
a processor coupled to said power delivery system, said processor programmed to;
transmit a charging request to a remote device, the charging request including an amount of power requested to be supplied to the at least one load;
receive data related to a loading of a power distribution device, wherein the power distribution device is configured to supply power to said charging device; and
selectively activate said power delivery system to supply power to the at least one load based on the data received.

Abstract
A charging device includes a power delivery system configured to supply power to at least one load coupled to the charging device. The charging device also includes a processor coupled to the power delivery system, and the processor is programmed to transmit a charging request to a remote device. The charging request includes an amount of power requested to be supplied to the at least one load. The processor is programmed to receive data related to a loading of a power distribution device, wherein the power distribution device is configured to supply power to the charging device. The processor is further programmed to selectively activate the power delivery system to supply power to the at least one load based on the data received.
