  • Patent number: 11752891
    Abstract: A charging station includes a charging head and a plurality of electrical connectors. The charging head is slidable along a track and rotatable along an axis. The plurality of electrical connectors is secured to the charging head and is disposed radially about the axis. Each of the electrical connectors have a different profile and are configured to engage an electrical port of an electric vehicle having a matching profile to charge the battery of the electric vehicle. The charging head is configured to slide along the track and rotate along the axis to align each of the electrical connectors with a corresponding electrical port. Each of the electrical connectors is configured to advance from and retract to the charging head to engage and disengage the corresponding electrical port.

  • Patent number: 11565594
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a body and a charging pad. The body defines first and second wheel wells on opposing lateral sides of the body. The body defines a cavity along a bottom surface of the body between the wheel wells and a rear end of the vehicle. The charging pad is disposed within the cavity such that the charging pad spans a distance between the first and second wheel wells. The charging pad has a secondary coil disposed therein. The secondary coil is configured to receive electrical power from a primary coil of a charging station via induction to recharge a vehicle battery.

  • Publication number: 20220379750
    Abstract: An adapter plug for a charging port of an electric vehicle includes a housing, a first electrical connector, and a second electrical connector. The housing has circuitry disposed therein. The first electrical connector is integral to the housing, faces a first direction, and has a first profile. The first profile is configured to mate with the charging port and connect the circuitry to the charging port. The second electrical connector is integral to the housing, faces a second direction opposing the first direction, and has a second profile. The second profile matches the charging port. The second profiled is configured to mate with a connector head of a charging station and connect the circuitry to the connector head.
