Abstract: Devices, methods and software for automated electrical connector positioning for electric vehicle (EV) charging are provided. Using, for example, the disclosed automatic charging device, a method for charging an EV includes determining receipt of an EV-side electrical connector to a charging zone of an EV charging environment. The method includes actuating a charger-side electrical connector from an initial position outside of the charging zone to a final position inside of the charging zone. The final position corresponds to the charger-side electrical connector matingly engaged with the EV-side electrical connector.

Abstract: A vehicle-side receptacle unit is described that is positionable on an underside of an electrical vehicle (EV) and a method for operating such unit. The vehicle-side receptacle facilitates hands-free connection of an automatic charging device including a charger electrical connector of a floor-positioned recharging unit. The automatic charging device includes a plurality of movable links including a distal link and a proximal link and a pivotal lift arm connected to the distal link coupled to the plurality of movable links and to the charger electrical connector. The plurality of movable links include rounded edges and the rounded edges are configured to minimize rotational interference between links during motion. The plurality of movable links include spring loaded casters. The plurality of movable links are coplanar when in a non-operational position and when in an operational position.

Abstract: A device may include a first end, a second end, and a coupler configured to extend through an aperture from a first side to a second side of a motor cover. The coupler includes a head portion, a conduit portion extending from the head portion towards the second end, and a first bore axially extending through the coupler. The device may include a brush holder extending through the first bore. The brush holder includes a cylindrical body, a socket at the first end, and a receptacle at the second end. The device may include a first lock nut including a first threaded bore axially extending through the nut. The device may be configured to enable a grounding brush to contact a motor shaft to provide a current discharge path to ground to reduce an erosion of the motor components including the motor shaft and rolling bearing elements.
