Noob question here. Isn't the EVSE's current capability part of the J1772 handshake? Even if there's no way to automatically throttle your EV charger, could you query the EVSE through the plug and dial down your charger to the appropriate query manually? Or at least use the EVSE signal to prevent your charger from attempting to draw too much and pop the breaker for the EVSE?
