This article explains the EV charging station (EVCS)-specific settings available in the XENON Dashboard that apply across all features.
What EVCS-specific settings can I configure?
The following settings can be configured per EVCS in the XENON Dashboard:
Priority charging
Maximum charging power limit
EVSE-ID
These settings apply regardless of whether Dynamic Load Management (DLM) or Static Load Management (SLM) is active.
What is priority charging?
Priority charging ensures a specific EVCS receives power up to its maximum charging capacity before non-prioritized stations.
How priority charging works:
Prioritized EVCS are curtailed last — only after all non-prioritized EVCS are curtailed
If multiple EVCS are prioritized and available power is still insufficient, power is distributed evenly among them
What are charging limits?
A maximum charging power limit restricts how much power the Energy Management System (EMS) will allocate to a specific EVCS, regardless of available grid capacity.
The EMS respects this limit at all times — even if the EV or the available grid power could support a higher value. Setting the maximum charging power is only required if the station should be actively limited. If active limitation is not required, the maximum power that the station can deliver will always be respected.
How does the HyperCharger handle maximum power?
HyperCharger (HYC) stations have special handling that differs from standard EVCS:
The maximum charging power configured for the /1 connector is distributed evenly across all EVs plugged in at that station
What is an EVSE-ID?
The Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment ID (EVSE-ID) is a unique identifier used by Charge Point Operators (CPOs) to identify a specific charging station across platforms and tools. In XENON, the EVSE-ID field can be used to set any identifier for each charging station.
How do I change the EVCS configuration?
In XENON, go to the Live view - list
Click the settings icon for the EV Charging Station
Update the fields of the configuration as required and save
Emergency shutdown
The Emergency Shutdown feature is deprecated and will not be available in the XENON Dashboard. To stop charging for a specific EVCS, set the maximum charging power to 0.
