Method and charging column for recharging a plurality of electric vehicles

A charging column, comprising a plurality of connections for the simultaneous connection of a plurality of electric vehicles and a charging control that is equipped for the purpose of charging the electric vehicles simultaneously connected to the respective connections,

• wherein the charging control is equipped for the purpose of charging the simultaneously connected electric vehicles exclusively individually,
• wherein the simultaneously connected electric vehicles are each charged up to a predetermined state of charge according to a sequence, the predetermined state of charge being less than a full state of charge,
• wherein the simultaneously connected electric vehicles are then charged from the predetermined state of charge to the full state of charge according to the sequence only when all of the simultaneously connected electric vehicles have been first charged to the predetermined state of charge, and
• wherein, in a case in which the simultaneously connected vehicles have each been charged up to or above the predetermined state of charge and in which a new vehicle is connected to the charging column, the new vehicle having a state of charge less than the predetermined state of charge, charging of the simultaneously connected vehicles to the full state of charge is interrupted and halted when the new vehicle is connected and until the new vehicle is charged up to the predetermined state of charge.
