A charging system for electric vehicles includes a number N of charge ports, each charge port having an interface for power exchange with an electric vehicle, a number M of modular energy storage direct converter systems (MESDCS), a switchable connection matrix, and a control system. The control system is configured to control an output voltage of each MESDCS. The switchable connection matrix is configured to connect one or more selected MESDCS with each given charge port and is further configured to connect one or more selected MESDCS with a power source.
