1. A method for integrating a peripheral charge controller into a non-DC-isolated AC charging device of an electric vehicle, the method comprising using a safety circuit to implement electric-shock protection in the non-DC-isolated AC charging device, arranging the peripheral charge controller within a housing of the AC charging device of the electric vehicle and coupling the peripheral charge controller to a charging socket, supplying an input end of the AC charging device with alternating current from the charging socket, using an output end of the AC charging device for providing direct current for charging a high-voltage battery of the electric vehicle, the peripheral charge controller coupled to the input end and output end of the AC charging device within the housing via a control unit, and using the peripheral charge controller for executing identification of a charging plug disposed in the charging socket and controlling the charging socket based on the identification of the charging plug.
