Charging device for charging a traction battery (120) of an electrically powered motor vehicle (100), with a device for making an
electrical connection to the traction battery (120), with a first storage unit (30) for storing
thermal energy, wherein the first storage unit (30) comprises a reservoir (32) filled with a first
coolant, which is water and / or glycol and has a temperature between 30°C and 50°C, with a second storage unit (40) for storing
thermal energy, wherein the second storage (40) is a
fuel tank of a filling
station is formed and comprises a reservoir (42) filled with a second
coolant, which is a
fossil fuel and has a temperature between 30°C and 50°C and is lower than the temperature of the first
coolant, with an energy transmission device (50) having a coolant line (52), wherein the
energy transfer device (50) for transferring
thermal energy between the first storage unit (30) and the traction battery (120) is thermally coupled to the first storage unit (30) and thermally coupleable to the traction battery (120), and wherein the
energy transfer device (50) is furthermore thermally coupled to the second storage device (40) and thermally coupleable to the traction battery (120) for the transfer of thermal energy between the second storage device (40) and the traction battery (120), wherein the coolant line (52) is designed for selective supply of either the first coolant or the second coolant to the energy transmission device (50) and comprises at least one valve (56) which is connected on the one hand by fluid communication to the reservoir (32) of the first storage unit (30) and the reservoir (42) of the second storage unit (40) and on the other hand by fluid communication to a
heat exchanger (110) of the motor vehicle (100), with a
temperature control device (60) for
temperature control of the first storage unit (30) and for
temperature control of the second storage unit (40), wherein the temperature control device (60) comprises a heating device (62) which is thermally coupled exclusively to the first storage unit (30) to heat the first coolant, wherein the temperature control device (60) further comprises a
refrigeration machine (64) which is thermally coupled to the first storage unit (30) and to the second storage unit (40), which represent two different thermal inertias, and which is designed and arranged to extract thermal energy from the second storage unit (40) and supply it to the first storage unit (30).
