  • Automated electric plug-in station for charging electric and hybrid vehicles
    Publication number: 20110066515
    Abstract: Provided is an automated plug-in station for charging electric powered vehicles. The station includes a plug apparatus with a plug head that connects to an adapter on the electric powered vehicle and configured to pass electric charge to the battery of the electric powered vehicle. The plug apparatus extends automatically from a basin once proper alignment is established by a positioning system. Prior to charging, the plug apparatus is enclosed within the basin by a cover door which opens by an actuator when a vehicle enters the station; and when charging is complete, the plug automatically disconnects from the vehicle and withdraws back into the basin. The plug-in station also provides for receiving and processing payments at a payment system in the station.
