Zusammenfassung:A control unit (10) includes a first interface (14) by way of which the control unit (10) is able to be connected or is connected to a charging station (20). A processor (12) is designed to instruct the charging station (20) to charge an electric vehicle (40) with a charging current using a charging cable (30). An initial current value of the charging current is higher than a continuous current value associated with the charging cable (30). The processor (12) is also designed to ascertain whether a temperature linked to the charging cable (30) reaches or exceeds a maximum temperature value linked to the charging cable (30); and to instruct the charging station (20) to reduce the charging current if the temperature linked to the charging cable (30) reaches or exceeds the maximum temperature value.
