Abstract
A method for preparing the supply of electrical power to a vehicle having a supply device from a supply apparatus providing at least a supply voltage, wherein the vehicle and the supply apparatus are separate from one another and releasably electrically connectable to one another by a plug contact disposed in a line between the supply device of the vehicle and the supply apparatus. While preparing the supply of electrical power and after the supply device of the vehicle has been electrically connected to the supply apparatus connected by way of the plug contact, a specific voltage identifying the voltage class of the vehicle is determined. The supply apparatus reports back the determined voltage class to the supply device of the vehicle via a power line communication.

9. A method for preparing supply of electrical energy to a vehicle having a supply device from a supply apparatus supplying at least one supply voltage and being separate from the supply device and being releasable electrically connected to the supply device by a plug contact, the method comprising:
-
establishing an electrical connection representing a first communication path between the supply device of the vehicle and the supply apparatus via a line and the plug contact, with the supply apparatus, determining via the first communication path a defined voltage characteristic of a voltage class of the vehicle and identifying the voltage class of the vehicle based on the determined defined voltage, and with the supply apparatus, reporting the identified voltage class back to the supply device of vehicle via a second communication path in form of a power-line communication. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
