1. A portable external alternating current charger for a high-voltage battery of an electric or hybrid motor vehicle, having a modular design, comprising:
a basic module including a first alternating current input, a first direct current output, a first data interface, an alternating current output, and a direct current input,
wherein the first alternating current input, the first direct current output, the first data interface, the alternating current output, and the direct current input are accessible from outside of the basic module,
wherein the alternating current output, the direct current input, and the first data interface are on a first side of the basic module,
wherein the alternating current output is configured to connect to an alternating current input on a first side of an accessory module,
wherein the direct current input is configured to connect to a direct current output on the first side of the accessory module,
wherein the first data interface is configured to connect to a first data interface on the first side of the accessory module,
wherein the first alternating current input is on a second side of the basic module,
wherein the first direct current output is on a third side of the basic module, and
wherein the first side of the basic module, the second side of the basic module, and the third side of the basic module are different from each other.
