What changed

This document is a publication of a new patent application (US20260084560A1) filed with the USPTO. The application describes an electric vehicle charging system that includes a controller capable of prioritizing power delivery to one of two output connections. Specifically, the system can detect a load on a secondary connection and halt power to a primary EV charging connection, then redirect power to the secondary connection.

This is a patent application, not a rule or guidance. It does not impose any immediate compliance obligations. However, companies involved in EV charging technology, power management, or related manufacturing may wish to review the patent claims for potential intellectual property considerations or future product development insights. The filing date was November 24, 2025.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING SYSTEM WITH PRIORITY CHARGING

Application US20260084560A1 Kind: A1 Mar 26, 2026

Inventors

Charles H. REYNOLDS, Ronald L. SILORIO

Abstract

An electric vehicle (EV) charging system includes a controller comprising a central processing unit and implemented on a single printed circuit board, and a first output connection and a second output connection each coupled to the controller and operable to deliver power via the AC power supply. The controller is operable to direct the AC current from the higher voltage side of the printed circuit board to the first output connection comprising a first output head operable to charge an EV, detect a load on the second output connection, halt the AC current directed to the first output connection responsive to detecting the load on the second output connection, and direct the AC current from the higher voltage side of the printed circuit board to the second output connection after halting the AC current directed to the first output connection.
