1. A charging module for an electric vehicle, comprising:
a power conversion unit comprising a power conversion module disposed inside a cabinet, said power conversion unit configured to provide an output power,
a heat dissipation unit configured to cool the power conversion unit,
a thermoelectric module configured to generate an electrical energy based on a temperature difference between the power conversion unit and the heat dissipation unit during operation,
a first power converter coupled to the thermoelectric module, said first power converter configured to receive a first power and convert the first power into a second power,
a power storage unit coupled to the first power converter, said power storage unit configured to receive the second power to store energy, and
a second power converter coupled to the first power converter and the power storage unit, said second power converter configured to receive the second power and convert the second power into the electrical energy,
wherein the electrical energy is supplied to the power conversion unit and/or the heat dissipation unit.
