ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME

The present invention relates to an electric vehicle charging device and to a method for controlling same. The electric vehicle charging device includes a plurality of charging cables installed in one electric vehicle charger. After battery charging of a vehicle, which has arrived first, is completed using one charging cable, a next vehicle is immediately charged using another charging cable such that even in a state where the vehicle, which has arrived first, does not leave a charging station, the next vehicle can be charged. Accordingly, it is possible to improve convenience of an electric vehicle user, and minimize waiting time for charging. Therefore, it is possible to improve the operational efficiency of the electric vehicle charger.
