1. A charging system for electric vehicle batteries, characterized in that the system comprises
at least one charging station (K) configured to be connected to a direct current charging network (104);
two or more direct current charging outputs (N) provided within the at least one charging station (K), wherein each direct current charging output (N) is configured to allow the use of different charging standards, such as Combined Charging System (CCS), CHAdeMO, GB/T, Chaoji;
wherein each charging station further comprises
a central command; and
a cable management system, configured to let the charging cable be extended when a user pulls it and to retract the cable when the user releases it;
a power block (Px) configured to be electrically powered by a low voltage grid (102), comprising
at least one power unit (P), comprising
at least one power controller (PC); and
two or more power modules (C) configured to be controlled by the at least one power controller (PC);
a HUB (105), comprising
a router (112);
a controller (106);
a HUB command (115); and
a power selector (116), configured to be controlled by the controller (106);
a wired or wireless telecommunication network (111);
at least one remote system (107, 108, 109);
wherein said at least one remote system is selected from the group consisting of a remote charging management system (107), a monitoring system (108) and a mobile phone application (109);
and wherein said router (112) is configured to enable communication with said at least one remote system (107, 108, 109), by using said wired or wireless telecommunication network (111);
a first communications network (103);
a second communications network (113);
wherein
the at least one power controller (PC) is configured to be connected to the controller (106) via the first communications network (103), and
the at least one charging station (K) is configured to be connected to the HUB (105) via the second communications network (113);
wherein
the controller (106) is configured to
control the power provided by the direct current charging network (104) to the at least one charging station (K) configured to be supplied by at least one of the two or more power modules (C);
act on the power selector (116); and
act on the at least one power controller (PC).
