The invention relates to a terminal (1) for charging electric vehicles, installed in an external environment. The terminal comprises a fixed base (2) and a sealed door (3), closed by a high force mechanism (39) blocked by a safety lock (38). The electric, electronic and cooling components of the terminal are distributed both on the internal surface of the base and the door, allowing improved accessibility. The door represents the major portion of the periphery of the terminal, in order to improve the accessibility of the components. The terminal further comprises a removable head (4) carrying the user interface (42) and the digital processors (62). The terminal also comprises a cooling system including a sealed internal air recirculation circuit (8), cooled by a heat exchanger (72) immersed in an open external air circuit (7). The terminal comprises a charging cable (328) with a mobile connector (32) stored in a receptacle (333) with electrically controlled locking (35, 36).
