Systems and methods are provided for managing Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) for use with a generator back-up. The EVSE can receive electrical power to generate an electrical load while monitoring a frequency of electrical power. The EVSE and/or another system may determine the generator back-up is supplying power based on the frequency. In response to determining the generator back-up is supplying power, the EVSE can operate at percentage of full power. The EVSE may attempt to reconnect and/or increase the percentage of full power in multiple ways based on a mode the EVSE is operating in. In a lock-out disabled priority mode, the EVSE can attempt to reconnect and begin operating at full power. In a lock-out mode, the EVSE can attempt to reconnect at a percentage of full power and incrementally increase the percentage of full power until full power has been reached.
