Abstract

A charging station system, in particular for electric vehicles is described, wherein the charging station system has at least one housing. The charging station system also has a plurality of main components. The housing and the main components are standardized in such a manner that the main components can be arranged modularly in the housing. An associated method for constructing a charging station is also described.

Claims

1. An electric vehicle charging station system comprising:

at least one housing;

a plurality of main components;

wherein the housing and the main components are standardized such that the main components can be arranged modularly in the housing.

2. The charging station system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the main components and the housing have a mutually coordinated standardization in terms of their dimensions, including internal dimensions of the housing which are determined by the external dimensions of the main components.

3. The charging station system as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of said plurality of main components has a control box, wherein the main component has at least one module, and wherein the architecture of the module is wherein the module can be arranged modularly in the control box.

4. The charging station system as claimed in claim 3, wherein at least one of the plurality of main components has a plurality of modules, that are exclusively power supply modules.

5. The charging station system as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one of the plurality of main components has a plurality of modules, that include at least one power supply module and a cooling module.

6. The charging station system as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one of the plurality of main components has a plurality of modules, that are exclusively cooling modules.

7. The charging station system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

a charging pole.

8. The charging station system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

wherein the charging station system has a transformation station.

9. The charging station system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one housing is manufactured from steel sheet, steel plates or concrete.

10. The charging station system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one housing has precisely one door.

11. The charging station system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the charging station system has a first housing and at least one second housing which is situated next to or above the first housing.

12. A method for constructing an electrical vehicle charging station as claimed in claim 1, the method comprising:

providing at least one standardized housing;

fitting the at least one standardized housing with a first standardized main component and at least one second standardized main component; and

connecting the first standardized main component to the second standardized main component.

13. The method as claimed in claim 12, wherein a first and a second standardized housing are each fitted with at least one standardized main component the first standardized housing is erected next to or on the second standardized housing and the first standardized housing is connected to the second standardized housing.
