A power sharing device allows a single high voltage electric socket to be shared with one or more appliances and an EV charger. The device can be easily installed and used without updating the electric circuit of the dwelling. The device senses the load of the appliance socket(s) and automatically disconnects the EV charger socket if significant current is being drawn by the appliance(s). The device may also include a circuit breaker to prevent current overload of the electric circuit. These and other features of the device provide improved safety relative to existing solutions.
