CENTRAL CHARGE CONTROLLER FOR A A PLURALITY OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES

The invention relates to a method for centralized charging control of a plurality of electric vehicles (2) at a depot (3), comprising a computer-based central charging control center (1), which is designed for wireless communication (5) with controls (4) provided in the respective electric vehicles (2), and wherein the electric vehicles (2) can be connected to a charging point (3a) of the depot (3) for charging a respective battery according to a charging profile, having the steps: Checking, by the charging control center (1) by means of communication (5) with the controls (4) of the electric vehicles (2), what charge state the respective battery has, at which position the respective electric vehicle (2) is located, and/or a connection status of the respective electric vehicle (2) with the charging point (3a), and transmitting a check result to the charging control center (1), Selection, by the charging control center (1), of the electric vehicles (2) to be taken into account in a calculation of charging profiles based on a respective deployment planning of the electric vehicle (2), the position of the respective electric vehicle (2) and/or the connection status with the charging point (3a), and Calculating, by the charging control center (1), the charging profile for each electric vehicle (2) which is located at the depot (3) based on the position, connected with the charging point (3a) and/or to be taken into account according to the deployment planning, for a consideration period by means of a linear optimization algorithm taking into account an electrical charging power available at the depot (3), a planned departure time according to the deployment planning and a required electrical energy quantity with regard to a planned route according to the deployment planning.
