Abstract: A method for communicating between an electric vehicle and a charging station for electrically charging at least one energy storage device of the electric vehicle. The electric vehicle is connected to the charging station during the charging process by a lockable mechanical coupling between a terminal of charging cable connected to the vehicle and a terminal of the charging station. Charging current is fed from the charging station through the charging cable. Information is transferred in the course of the charging process based on a communication between the electric vehicle and the charging station. The information includes a signal transmitted from the electric vehicle to the charging station for locking and/or unlocking the mechanical coupling. The signal triggers the locking and/or unlocking of the mechanical coupling between the terminal of the charging cable and the terminal at the charging station.

Abstract: A control device which, in addition to pairing a charging station with a vehicle to be charged, also pairs a control connection to a mobile terminal of a charging station user. A control connection via a near-field communications interface is formed with the mobile terminal (MD) after an authorisation from a vehicle-side and terminal-side authorisation pair is received. After the control connection has been formed, the charging station is assigned based on an interaction between the control connection, formed using the near-field communications interface, and the vehicle-side authorization.

Abstract: A method for controlling a charging operation of a vehicle at a charging station includes monitoring, modifying, stopping, or terminating the charging operation, independent of an identification device initially used for approval of a charging. The charging is controlled via a control link established via a near-field communication link between a mobile terminal device and a control device of the charging station. The near-field communication link enables a receipt of a termination instruction by the control device for terminating the charging operation.

Abstract: A connecting unit for connection to an electric vehicle with two or more contact rails is provided. By way of example, one contact rail is provided for the connection DC+ and one contact rail is provided for the connection DC?. These contact rails are dependent on one another to a certain degree on account of the positive and negative polarity. Therefore, the contact rails are not arranged in any desired manner, but rather at a specific distance from one another. Furthermore, the connecting unit has a further contact rail to which a signal can be applied. The contact rails can be connected to corresponding vehicle-side contact rails of the electric vehicle.
