METHOD FOR COMMUNICATING BETWEEN AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE AND A CHARGING STATION FOR ELECTRICALLY CHARGING AT LEAST ONE ENERGY STORE OF THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for communicating between an electric vehicle (1) and a charging station (2) for electrically charging at least one energy store (1a) of the electric vehicle (1), wherein the electric vehicle (1) is connected to the charging station (2) during the charging process by a lockable mechanical coupling between a connection (3) of charging cable (4) connected to the electric vehicle (1) and a connection (5) of the charging station (2). Charging current is fed from the charging station (2) to the at least one energy store (1) by means of the charging cable (4), wherein information is transferred in the course of the charging process based on a communication between the electric vehicle (1) and the charging station (2). According to the invention, the transferred information comprises a signal transmitted from the electric vehicle (1) to the charging station (2) for locking and/or unlocking the mechanical coupling, wherein locking and/or unlocking the mechanical coupling between the connection (3) of the charging cable (4) and the connection (5) of the charging station (2) is initiated by the signal in the charging station.
