Some chargers have a current sensor on a meter tail, which senses the
total current being consumed in the house and throttles back the
charging current if there's a risk of exceeding the supply capacity.
The signal cable to which you refer is almost certainly intended for
that.



In the absence of a power supply problem would the ev charging be at a
constant rate or does the batteryÂ* dictate what power it can absorb and
turn it down?


They are the same thing. What limits charge current is usually heat. Eye
squared Arrr, probably a temp sensor in the pack as braces, but the belt
is constant permissible charge current. As the voltage rises to 'fully
charged' the charger will simply switch off..

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will
eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such
time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic
and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally
important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for
the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the
truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
