The charger periodically tells the car the maximum power it can provide, and the car knows to not ask for more than that (plus the charger will just cap it at its max).
Apart from that, it’s mostly like a regular electrical outlet. If you plug in a 50W desk fan, it’ll only pull 50W, even though the outlet can provide 1800+W
Pushing 1.5kW is going to get dangerous when the chargers and cars age.
1.5MW, not kW.
Is it actually “pushing”? I’ve always thought the consumer is “pulling”.
Yeah, devices pull power.
