1. A method for checking a plausibility of an insulation fault indication when monitoring a high-voltage system (100) of an electric vehicle when charging a traction battery of the electric vehicle at a DC voltage charging apparatus (200) capable of simultaneously charging traction batteries of other electric vehicles, the method comprising: connecting the traction battery of the electric vehicle to the DC charging apparatus (200); using an insulation monitoring device (101) on the electric vehicle to carry out a three volt-meter method for measuring three different potential differences to monitor electrical insulation of the high-voltage system (100); cyclically deactivating an active portion of the insulation monitoring device (101) of the electric vehicle; using the insulation monitoring device (101) of the electric vehicle while the active portion of the insulation monitoring device is deactivated; and continuing charging the traction battery of the electric vehicle if the three different potential differences measured by the insulation monitoring device (101) of the electric vehicle identify a cyclic pattern thereby indicating that an insulation monitoring device of a further electric vehicle is active on the DC charging device (200).
