A method for charging an electric vehicle sockets

An exemplary charging system and method for controlling a rapid charging process, relating to an external power source (eg. For example, a high voltage charging station that provides 10 kW-300 kW) and a socket-electric vehicle. In one embodiment, the charging method uses a cost function to estimate the negative impact that any quick charging session on the battery life. When the total negative effect of past and / or present Aufladesitzungen has exceeded a threshold value, then the charging process charging parameters in an effort to further reduce the battery life can be avoided, reducing (eg. As the charging current, voltage, power, duration, etc.) limit. Thus, the charging system and method allow a user frequently participates in fast charging sessions with an external power source, yet the effect is minimized having these sessions on the battery.
