Charging station and arrangement of electric components for controlling the delivery of electricity from an electrical grid to an electric vehicle

An arrangement of electric components for controlling the delivery of electricity from an electrical grid to an electric vehicle, the arrangement comprising:

• a first, a second, a third, and a fourth input terminals for receiving electric signals from the electrical grid;
• a first switching component for controlling a connection between a neutral output terminal connectable to the electrical vehicle and the first input terminal;
• a second switching component for controlling a connection between the neutral output terminal connectable to the electrical vehicle and the second input terminal;
• a third switching component for controlling a connection between the neutral output terminal connectable to the electrical vehicle and the third input terminal;
• a fourth switching component for controlling a connection between a first-phase output terminal connectable to the electrical vehicle and the first input terminal;
• a fifth switching component for controlling a connection between the first-phase output terminal connectable to the electrical vehicle and the second input terminal;
• a sixth switching component for controlling a connection between the first-phase output terminal connectable to the electrical vehicle and the third input terminal;
• a seventh switching component for controlling a connection between a second-phase output terminal connectable to the electrical vehicle and the second input terminal;
• an eighth switching component for controlling a connection between the second-phase output terminal connectable to the electrical vehicle and the third input terminal, and
• a ninth switching component for controlling a connection between the second-phase output terminal connectable to the electrical vehicle and the fourth input terminal.
