    Abstract: A system and method for charging an electric vehicle includes a calibrated energy meter and a calibrated time meter, wherein the calibrated energy meter is characterized by a minimum charge current that is accurately measurable due to the calibration. The system and method is configured, when charging the electric vehicle with an actual charge current during a charging session, for initially metering the actual charge current with the calibrated energy meter as long as the actual charge current is in a range between the rated charge current and the minimum charge current or a value related to the minimum charge current and thereafter, when the metered charge current falls below the minimum charge current (Imin), for metering a charge time with the calibrated time meter until the charging session ends.

    Abstract: An electric vehicle charge equipment (EVSE) for supplying a charge current to an electrical vehicle includes: a liquid cooled charge cable with a charge connector for connecting to the electrical vehicle; and a charge current regulating device for regulating the charge current based on a temperature of the cooling liquid. Regulating the charge current includes: charging the electrical vehicle with a first charge current for an initial time period and thereafter charging the electrical vehicle with a second charge current that is greater than the first charge current, and/or reducing the charge current as long as the temperature of the cooling liquid is below a temperature threshold, and/or charging the electrical vehicle with a first charge current as long as the temperature of the cooling liquid is below a temperature threshold and thereafter charging the electrical vehicle with a second charge current that is greater than the first charge current.

    Abstract: An electric vehicle charging equipment (EVSE) system is provided. The EVSE system delivers direct current (DC) charging power and is configured for delivering electrical energy to a single electrical vehicle at a same time. The EVSE system comprises a plurality of charging cables with respective charging connectors for connecting to a respective plurality of electrical vehicles. At least one of the plurality of charging cables is liquid cooled and each of the plurality of charging cables comprises at least two DC power lines and at least two signal lines, which are each connected to a respective DC power line within the charging connector. The EVSE system further comprises a DC metering device configured for measuring, via the at least two signal lines, a connector voltage between the at least two DC power lines within the charging connector.
