It does not depend only on the station manufacturer and model, it also depends on what the statoin is connected to, as the pilot will be configured to tell you what maximum you can draw and this can even change over time: modern versions of Charge Point statoins have dual outlets, but can be connected to a single 40A service, so that you can upgrade a single station to a dual outlet without rewiring. What the station does is when only one EV is drawing power, it will signal through the pilot that up to 32A is allowed (80% of 40A) As soon as a second EV start drawing power also, both will be throttled back to 16A. When one finishes charging, the remaining will again get the boost to 32A again. This is similar to stations that support DR where a high load on the grid causes a signal to the charging stations (and other customers) to reduce power consumption for some time. Also, if a charging station that can support 40A or more is installed on a 30A service, it will be configured to never show more than 24A on the pilot signal. So - it depends. Only if a station that can deliver 80A is connected to a 100A service will it be allowed to let the pilot show up to 80A and can you actually draw those 80A from that station... Hope this clarifies,

When I use an Aerovironment level2 station, I can draw 30amps from it, but the Blinks won't support that much current. What is the maximum I can get from a Blink? How about ChargePoint stations? I haven't tried them yet.
