Dynamic adjustment of a charge rate of an EVSE on a shared branch circuit, ensuring maximum power delivery to the EVSE without overloading the branch circuit. The Level 1 EVSE and at least one other load are connected to the branch circuit via different electrical outlets. A current monitoring circuit continuously monitors the total current flowing through the branch circuit, and a communications link is established between the monitoring circuit and the EVSE. When the monitored current on the branch circuit is about to exceed a set point corresponding to a rated current capacity of the branch circuit, the charge rate is reduced to maximize power delivery to the EVSE without overloading the branch circuit. The charge rate is increased when more current is available to be drawn from the branch circuit to ensure continuous and uninterrupted delivery of maximum power to the EVSE without exceeding the rated current capacity.
