  • Patent number: 11975618
    Abstract: A high-voltage charging arrangement (2) is provided for charging a traction battery (20) of an electric vehicle at a DC charging station (4). The DC charging station (4) has a first voltage (Vin) and the traction battery (20) has a second voltage (Vout). At least one DC-DC converter (10) has a first conduction path (12) with a converter (16) for transforming the first voltage (Vin) into the second voltage (Vout) and a second conduction path (14) has a bypass (18) for bypassing the converter (16). A control device (26) communicates with the DC charging station (4) is possible. An input element (28) is provided for selecting a conduction path (12, 14) and is connected to the control device (26) for control purposes. A method also is provided for performing a charging process for a traction battery (20) of an electric vehicle at a DC charging station (4).

  • Patent number: 9862281
    Abstract: An electrical connection line for charging an energy store of a motor vehicle has an electrical input connection (20) to connect the connection line (10) to an external energy source (24) and an electrical output connection (18) to connect the connection line (10) to the energy store (14) of the motor vehicle (12) that is to be charged. The electrical output connection (18) has a plug-in connector (18) for electrically connecting to the energy store (14) of the motor vehicle (12), and a line section (22) with at least two electrical lines for transferring electrical energy. The electrical input connection (20) has connection terminals (26, 28) to connect the connection line (10) to electrical contacts (30, 32) of the external energy source (24).
