Abstract: An ejector for electric vehicle charging connectors is provided. An ejector can be configured to be secured on the inside of the charging port of an EV and to automatically eject or push the charging connector from the charging port. The ejector may include a pusher assembly that can be selectively retracted to allow a charging connector to be plugged into the charging port and can be selectively released to eject the charging connector from the charging port. The ejector can include a retracting assembly for selectively retracting the pusher assembly and a locking assembly for retaining the pusher assembly in the retracted position until it is desired to eject the charging connector.

Abstract: A truck crane adapter can be used to selectively secure a variety of truck cranes to a gooseneck hitch of a pickup truck. The truck crane adapter can also be configured to prevent or minimize damage to the bed of a pickup truck even when the truck crane is used to lift heavy loads.

Abstract: An ejector for electric vehicle charging connectors is provided. An ejector can be configured to be secured on the inside of the charging port of an EV and to automatically eject or push the charging connector from the charging port. The ejector may include a pusher assembly that selectively extends through an opening in a housing forming the socket of the charging port. The ejector may also include a driver assembly that forces the pusher assembly through the opening to eject the charging connector while allowing the pusher assembly to be freely withdrawn when the charging connector is inserted.

Abstract: A management system for an EV charging cable is provided. The management system can be used to manage a charging cable in a location where an EV is charged while also allowing the charging cable to be quickly and easily removed for storage or for use when charging in a different location. The management system may be configured to retract the charging cable in a controlled manner to prevent damage to the cable, the management system, or surrounding structures.

Abstract: An ejector can be used to automatically eject charging connectors of electric vehicle chargers. The ejector can be configured to be secured to any of a variety of charging connectors for electric vehicles. The ejector can include an ejector mechanism that is configured to force the charging connector out from the charging port. The ejector can also include circuitry by which the ejector mechanism can be controlled via a wired and/or wireless interface.

Abstract: An electric scooter hitch assembly is configured to be quickly attached to and removed from an electric scooter. The hitch assembly provides a mechanism for selectively securing a carry-on or other towable item to a variety of electric scooters. The hitch assembly is compact and easily transportable thereby making it an ideal solution for a rider to temporarily adapt an electric scooter, including rental electric scooters, to transport towable items such as trailers, luggage, carts, or other suitable items.

Abstract: A flagpole adapter for a gooseneck hitch is provided. The flagpole adapter can include a shank that is configured to insert into the receiver of a gooseneck hitch. The flagpole adapter can also include a tube that extends upwardly from the shank and that is configured to receive a flagpole. The flagpole adapter can further include a flagpole securing assembly for securing a flagpole that is inserted into the tube. Because the flagpole adapter is inserted into the receiver of a gooseneck hitch, flags flown using the flagpole adapter will be positioned centrally within the bed of the truck.

Abstract: A control system of a charging station can automatically and intelligently connect to and charge an electric vehicle's battery or otherwise provide power to a component of a vehicle. The control system can be configured to detect the position of an onboard unit on a vehicle and automatically maneuver a receiver underneath the onboard unit. The control system can then cause the onboard unit to extend and plug into the receiver. The control system can then deliver power via the receiver and onboard unit.

Abstract: A telescoping actuator may be used with a charging station or other solution. The telescoping actuator can include a telescoping assembly that is hollow to thereby facilitate running wires or cables through the telescoping assembly. The telescoping actuator may also include a pulley system that enables the telescoping assembly to be extended and retracted without unduly occupying the hollow interior of the telescoping assembly.

Abstract: A receiver may be used with a charging station or other power delivery solution. The receiver can be configured to be maneuvered beneath a plug that is electrically coupled to a battery or other component of a vehicle. The receiver can include an opening into which the plug is inserted. The opening can form contacts for establishing an electrical connection with contacts on the plug. The receiver can include a cover that protects the contacts when the plug is not inserted into the opening.
