1. A method of charging one or more electric vehicles (EVs), the method comprising:
receiving, at a higher voltage side of a single printed circuit board (PCB) comprising a controller, an alternating current (AC) charging current over a dedicated circuit from an electric power supply, the single PCB comprising the controller also having a lower voltage side that receives power from a second power supply to power a processor of the controller implemented on the single PCB, the lower voltage side receiving a voltage less than a voltage received by the higher voltage side, wherein the processor receives power from the lower voltage power supply that is separate from the electric power supply and that is not powered by the electric power supply; and
directing the charging current from the higher voltage side of the single PCB to a plurality of output connections, said directing the charging current from the higher voltage side of the single PCB comprising:
directing the charging current to a first output connection of the plurality of output connections, wherein each of the output connections is couplable to at least one head of a plurality of heads that are connectable to the EVs, wherein a first portion of the charging current is provided to a first head of the plurality of heads, wherein a second portion of the charging current is provided to a second head of the plurality of heads, and wherein the first and second heads are coupled to the first output connection.
