Abstract
An energy management device for controlling a charging control appliance in an electric vehicle is provided. The energy management device is designed to adjust a charging profile in the charging control appliance for the charging of a battery of the electric vehicle on a charging station or in the electric vehicle itself, the adjustment of the charging profile at least taking into account a planned time of use of the electric vehicle and a desired charging state of the battery as well as a pre-defined value for the maximum charging capacity of the electric vehicle. The energy management device is coupled to a measuring unit which is designed to measure an actual charging capacity provided for the electric vehicle by the charging station and, independently or as a result of a request from the energy management device, transmit same to the energy management device. The energy management device is designed to use the value of the actual charging capacity for a corresponding new adjustment of the charging profile.
