The number of Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) available on the car market is continuously growing. The electrification of the mobility is definitely related to the diffusion of the charging infrastructures widely distributed on the territory. Indeed, PEV owners request for charging stations able to offer features adequate to the expectations. They are expected to be able to recharge vehicle’s on-board battery in a ten of minutes. In this paper, Ultra Fast Charging Stations (UFCSs) are investigated. The stations are discussed in terms of electric schemes and modalities of control. There is a focus on components, systems, state variable and security level. Moreover, the UFCS realized at the University of Naples Federico II is highlighted. The lab prototype is discussed in terms of configuration and rated values. The results of some numerical tests are carried out. They point out both the main features of the charging slots and the requirements of load emulators for UFCS.
