The function of the port is to convert AC power from the grid into DC, which is then applied to the battery. Thats because the charging stations convert DC power to high-frequency AC, using an inverter. The galvanic isolation is integrated into the power-conversion hardware, regardless of whether its in the car or in a public charger.
