1. A vehicle, comprising:
a traction battery;
a human-machine interface (HMI); and
a controller programmed to
responsive to detecting electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) utilizing multiple price tiers corresponding to multiple default maximum charge powers, output a message indicating a charge price corresponding to the default maximum charge power for each of the price tiers via the HMI,
responsive to receiving user input defining an adjusted maximum charge power different than the default maximum charge powers and less than a greatest of the default maximum charge powers, send the adjusted maximum charge power to the EVSE and permit charging from the EVSE at or below the adjusted maximum charge power, and
responsive detecting a vehicle charge preference matching one of the multiple price tiers of the EVSE, automatically select a previously set maximum charge power and send the previously set maximum charge power to the EVSE.
