Charging system having at least one charging column for electric vehicles and method for charging one or more electric vehicles

Abstract

A charging system includes a charging station, at least one first charging column, which has one or more charging plugs, a buffer store for storing energy, a mains connection for providing energy to the charging station and a switching apparatus, which is configured to conduct the flow of energy from the buffer store and/or from the mains connection to the first charging column. The system can also have a second charging column, which has one or more charging plugs. The switching apparatus is provided in such a way that it distributes the flow of energy from the buffer store and/or the mains connection over the two charging columns or conducts the flow of energy to one of the two charging columns. Furthermore, a method for charging one or more electric vehicles by the charging system at the charging station is described.
