Abstract
The electrical charging of a group of vehicles electrically connected to an electricity grid is controlled. A central control system responds to a received increase command by performing a power increase operation according to an increase scheme. The increase command stipulates an amount by which the power draw by the group of vehicles needs to be increased. The increase scheme is ascertained by the central control system based on the increase command and specifies a temporary increase in the charging power for the energy store of one or more vehicles of the group. If the charging operation for the energy store of at least one vehicle is altered by the user after reception of the increase command and before or during the power increase operation, the central control system checks whether the parameters of the altered charging operation does not decrease the amount of power according to the increase command.
