Abstract: A charging station for charging electric vehicles. The charging station comprises a direct current, DC, bus arranged to receive power from one or more external energy sources. The charging station also comprises a battery coupled to the DC bus, the battery being arranged to charge via power received from the one or more external energy sources via the DC bus. The charging station also comprises one or more DC/DC converters coupled to the DC bus. The one or more DC/DC converters are arranged to draw DC power from the battery, via the DC bus, and output DC power to one or more electric vehicles via one or more charging connections, to charge the one or more electric vehicles.
