CHARGING DEVICE FOR AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE AND USE THEREOF

摘要

The object of the invention is to provide a charging device for an electric vehicle which is further developed than those in the prior art. In order to achieve the object, the charging device has an electric cable. According to the invention, storage means which are movably connected to the electric vehicle and in which the electric cable can be stored are provided. These storage means can be moved, together with the electric cable and the corresponding plugs/sockets, both into the interior and out of the interior. The use of storage means which are movably connected to the electric vehicle has the advantage that the electric cable has a fixed location, is not located anywhere in the vehicle so that it has to be looked for and cannot get underneath other objects and be concealed or damaged thereby but at the same time can be grasped conveniently, in particular from above. This eliminates in particular the need to bend forward to remove the electric cable from the rear or the interior of the vehicle, which strains the back. The charging device is preferably part of an electric vehicle.
