Abstract
Embodiments of a method for monitoring a charging process at a charging station are provided herein. In the method, the end of a charging process with an electric vehicle at the charging station is determined. In order to determine whether a vehicle is permanently connected to a charging station, without charging, it is proposed to carry out a charging readiness test with the electric vehicle at the charging station after the end of the charging process with this electric vehicle has been determined and to produce a signal at the charging station when charging readiness has been determined.
