Abstract
A charging station (10) is provided for electrical DC charging of an electric vehicle with a charging power of at least 150 kW. The charging station (10) has a charging cable (11) with a charging plug (12), via which an electric vehicle to be charged is able to be coupled to the charging station (10) for the purpose of electrical DC charging. A charging interface (13) for electrical AC charging is integrated into the charging station (10). An electric vehicle to be charged can be coupled to the charging interface via a charging cable of the electric vehicle to be charged.
Claims12
A charging station for electrical DC charging of an electric vehicle with a charging power of at least 150 kW, the charging station comprising:
- a charging cable with a charging plug configured to couple an electric vehicle to be charged to the charging station for purposes of electrical DC charging;
- and a charging interface having a charging socket for electrical AC charging integrated into the charging station, the charging interface having a cover configured for selectively covering the charging socket, and the charging interface being configured to be coupled to an electric vehicle to be charged via a charging cable of the electric vehicle to be charged, wherein the charging interface for electrical AC charging is unlockable and lockable automatically by a control device of the charging station depending on an availability of the electrical DC charging.
A charging station for electrical DC charging of an electric vehicle with a charging power of at least 150 kW, wherein the charging station comprises:
- a charging cable with a charging plug configured to couple an electric vehicle to be charged to the charging station for purposes of electrical DC charging;
- and a charging interface having a charging socket for electrical AC charging integrated into the charging station and configured to be coupled to an electric vehicle to be charged via a charging cable of the electric vehicle to be charged, the charging interface having a cover for the charging socket, the charging station having a control device that communicates in a remote controlled manner with a superordinate control device of a charging station operator via a data interface to selectively unlock the charging interface for electrical AC charging for a limited time duration and subsequently to lock the charging interface for further electrical AC charging, thereby freeing up the charging station for the electrical DC charging.
A charging system, comprising:
- a charging station for electrical DC charging of a first electric vehicle with a charging power of at least 150 kW;
- a first charging cable with a first end integrated into the charging station and a second end having a charging plug configured to couple the first electric vehicle to be charged to the charging station for purposes of electrical DC charging;
- a charging interface for electrical AC charging integrated into the charging station and having a charging socket;
- and a second charging cable with a first end releasably connectable to the charging interface and a second end configured to be coupled to a second electric vehicle to be charged via the second charging cable, the charging interface for electrical AC charging having a cover for the charging socket that is unlockable and lockable in a remote-controlled manner by a control device of the charging station depending on an availability of the electrical DC charging.
