This is at Pacifica Cohousing, Carrboro, North Carolina.
Also EVSE = electric vehicle supply equipment

Philip, thanks for your post. I have not read this thread closely or
studied EVSE much but have a simple question.

How easy is it to share a charging station?  That is, can multiple
vehicles be connected to charge sequentially without manual
intervention? Can they be effectively queued up to automatically
charge as a vehicles turn arrives after the vehicle preceding it in
the que is done?

Sharing laundry equipment requires manual intervention to move clothes
around tho I understand some cohousing communites have ways of doing
each other's shuffling to minimize the effort.  I would hope
ESVE's can avoid middle of the night tasks...
