Abstract
A recharging method and assembly to charge an electric vehicle comprising a battery pack including a plurality of storage batteries having a same nominal charge voltage, the battery pack being connectable to a recharging station adapted to provide a recharging voltage, which is greater than said nominal charge voltage. In a recharging mode, in which the recharging voltage deliverable by the recharging station is equal to or greater than the sum of the nominal charge voltages of the plurality of storage batteries, the storage batteries are connected in series to one another, so as to recharge the series of batteries with a recharging voltage greater than the nominal charge voltage.
