Abstract: A locking device for an energy storage device of a motor vehicle, includes a locking element, which is adjustable based on a control signal, by an adjusting device between a locking position, in which the locking element engages with a latch receptacle, and a release position, in which the locking element is out of engagement with the latch receptacle. The adjusting device has an adjusting element made of a shape memory alloy. The shape change enables the locking element to be adjustable between the locking position and the release position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a charging connection element (1) of a vehicle (10), for connection to a charging apparatus, comprising a charging socket (2) for receiving electrical connectors (14), and comprising a sealing element (3) for sealing off the charging socket (2) from other components of the vehicle (10), wherein the charging socket (2) has a first latching element (4) and the sealing element (3) has a second latching element (5), wherein the first latching element (4) and the second latching element (5) can be latched relative to one another in a large number of different latching positions in order to prevent the charging socket (2) and the sealing element (3) from becoming detached, and wherein different distances between the charging socket (2) and the sealing element (3) are defined by the different latching positions.
