June 9, 2026
A method is provided for charging a vehicle () with high-voltage components () at a fast-charging station (). The method includes ascertaining a prevailing noise level around the vehicle () while operating noise () produced by the vehicle () itself during charging is suppressed. The method continues by determining a volume of the operating noise () that is tolerable for the driver () and bystanders () depending on the noise level and a measured distance of a vehicle key () from the vehicle (). The method proceeds by cooling the high-voltage components () of the vehicle () that are heated by charging so that the operating noise () caused by the cooling is limited to the tolerable volume.
