A charging system for electric vehicles is disclosed, which includes at least one charging port with an interface for power exchange with at least one electric vehicle, and at least one power converter for converting power from a power source such as a power grid to a suitable format for charging the vehicle. The power converter can be at a remote location from the charging port, such as a separate room, and/or a separate building.

Charging system for electric vehicles

Electric vehicle charging station

Energy exchange station for a battery of an electric vehicle, comprising at least one power output for a vehicle, means for determining whether a vehicle coupled to the at least one power output is able to be charged with an AC voltage and/or a DC voltage, a plurality of power inputs, comprising at least one AC power input; and at least one DC power input and at least one controllable switch, for switching the at least one power output to any of the power inputs a controller for the switch, for controlling the switch at least based on the determination.

System, devices and method for charging a battery of an electric vehicle

A method is disclosed for charging an electric vehicle, which includes determining a suitable charge algorithm for charging the electric vehicle, providing the charger with the algorithm and charging the electric vehicle according to the algorithm. A charger for an electric vehicle can be configured to have an updatable charging algorithm set, such as a charger configured for receiving and executing charging algorithms in the form of an executable script. Parameters for the charging algorithm may be received from a different source than the algorithm.

Method, system and device for charging an electric vehicle

A network of chargers for a battery of an electric vehicle is disclosed, having a 1st power connection, a power converter, a 2nd power connection and at least a 3rd power connection for exchanging power with another charger. A controller is provided for controlling a power switch, and is configured to: connect the power converter to the 2nd power connection when a vehicle is to be charged from the power source, connect the power converter to the at least one 3rd power connection when power is to be delivered to another charger, and connect the at least one 3rd power connection to the 2nd power connection when power from another charger is to be delivered to the vehicle.
