    Abstract: A charging station can be autonomously coupled to an electric vehicle. Sensors on the vehicle determine a location of the vehicle, and the vehicle is positioned within a connection envelope. A travel path for bringing a charging connector into contact with a charging port on the vehicle can be determined, and then the travel path is autonomously carried out. A charging station may include a mount, a bracket, and a charging connection.

    Abstract: A charging system may include a plug adapter for receiving a charging current and a processor configured to receive data from the plug adapter. The plug adapter may include a thermal sensor configured to measure temperature associated with the plug adapter. The processor may be configured to decrease the charging current if the temperature measured by the thermal sensor exceeds a first threshold temperature. The processor may be further configured to turn off the charging current if the temperature measured by the thermal sensor exceeds a second threshold temperature.
