Embodiment Construction

[0041] The invention summarized and defined by the enumerated claims above can be better understood by referring to the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The detailed description of specific preferred embodiments that enable people to build and use the specific implementations of the present invention presented below is not intended to limit the enumerated claims, but to provide specific examples of the present invention.

[0042] A typical embodiment of the present invention is in the form of an electric vehicle charging station having a console and some type of extendable portion (extension system) extending outward from the console. The extension system is configured to extend outward from the console and electrically connect the console and the vehicle for charging. The extension system is equipped with weak structural connections, so when excessive mechanical loads are placed on the extension system, the extension system can fail i...

Abstract

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.

Description

[0001] Related application [0002] This application requires U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 339,749 filed on March 8, 2010, U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 397,984 filed on June 18, 2010, and U.S. Provisional Application No. filed on December 29, 2010 Rights to patent application number 61 / 460,413. Each of the aforementioned applications is included in the present invention by reference. Technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to an electric vehicle charging system, and more specifically, to a charging station cable with a disconnected connector. The disconnected connector is constructed to minimize the impact of potential destructive forces on the cable. Risk of exposing energized high-power components. Background technique [0004] As efficient electric vehicles become more feasible and ideal, people's interest in home-based charging stations has gradually increased. In order to minimize the charging time, it is desirable to use a high ...
