Abstract: An electric charging system includes an automatic connection device (ACD) outside a chargeable device. The ACD is electrically coupled to an energy source and includes a plug head electrically and mechanically connectable to the chargeable device and a first mechanism that positions the plug head at an inlet. The head includes a plug head connector with electrically conductive pins and a plug head lock with a first shape. The inlet includes electrically conductive sockets complementary to the electrically conductive pins; a plug head coupler including a shape that is complementary to the first shape and mechanically couples with the plug head via the plug head lock; and a second mechanism that mechanically and electrically couples the pins to the sockets. The second mechanism can produce a force greater than the first mechanism, and the first mechanism moves with greater translational and rotational precision than the second mechanism.
