A charging station for an electric or hybrid vehicle includes at least one battery bank, a charging/discharging electronics system, at least one connection to a vehicle charging port, and an air conditioning device for heating and cooling at least one battery bank. The air conditioning device includes a refrigerant circuit for conducting a refrigerant and a coolant circuit for conducting a coolant. A control unit of the air conditioning device is configured for establishing a thermal short circuit of the coolant circuit between a heat reservoir and a cold reservoir and operating a motor of a compressor of the refrigerant circuit for as long as it takes for the waste heat of the motor fluidically connected to a space surrounding the battery bank to effectuate a temperature increase in the space to or above a predefined value.
