HIGH-VOLTAGE CHARGING ARRANGEMENT FOR AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE, AND A METHOD FOR CHARGING A TRACTION BATTERY

A high-voltage charging arrangement () is provided for charging a traction battery () of an electric vehicle at a DC charging station (). The DC charging station () has a first voltage (V) and the traction battery () has a second voltage (V). At least one DC-DC converter () has a first conduction path () with a converter () for transforming the first voltage (V) into the second voltage (V) and a second conduction path () has a bypass () for bypassing the converter (). A control device () communicates with the DC charging station () is possible. An input element () is provided for selecting a conduction path () and is connected to the control device () for control purposes. A method also is provided for performing a charging process for a traction battery () of an electric vehicle at a DC charging station ().
