摘要

An electric vehicle charging station having a console, a cable and a vehicle connector. The cable is connected with a break-away system that allows for a controlled structural failure of one of the cable connections when the vehicle connector is pulled away from the console with a critical level of force. The break-away system could be a body positioned along the length of the cable, and could be a connection between the cable and either the console or the vehicle connector.
