Abstract:
Example methods and apparatus to facilitate communication between a charging station and a vehicle are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a first charging interface to communicatively couple with a second charging interface of a charging station. The example apparatus also includes a communication interface actuatable between a stored position and a deployed position, the communication interface comprising a first radio frequency waveguide, the first radio frequency waveguide to physically engage a second radio frequency waveguide of the charging station to form a electromagnetically sealed waveguide, the electromagnetically sealed waveguide to guide radio frequency communication signals between the communication interface and the charging station.
