Abstract
A charging device for a vehicle is made available, which has two multi-pole connections, each of which can be coupled to a charging interface which is arranged on the vehicle. A power electronics module which is designed to convert alternating current into direct current is coupled to the two multi-pole connections. At least one measuring device which is designed to determine a parameter of the charging current is present at a pole of one of the two multi-pole connections during a charging process. An evaluation unit is coupled to the at least one measuring device and is designed to determine, on the basis of the parameter determined by the measuring device, whether the charging process is taking place by means of the first or by means of the second multi-pole connection.
