A transportable, or portable, charging station 101 comprises a battery of rechargeable storage cells 102 which are charged from an input supply 105 at an input power /rate P1 and which are discharged at an output power/rate to charge electrical storage cells 104 of an electric vehicle, wherein the output power/rate P2 is greater than the input power/rate P1. A data storage device is used to store a data record that is created for each vehicle charging operation. An input converter receives electrical energy at an input power level P1 while an output converter supplies electrical energy at a plurality of selectable output power levels (e.g. charging modes 1-4), each output power level P2 being higher than the input power level P1. The charging station 101 may be housed within a transportable cabin, a mobile trailer or a vehicle. The data record may: identify the rate of discharge; record locations at which the discharging operation takes place; and/or create a dataset to facilitate analysis of charging data, from which permanent charging posts are established in response to the analysis.
