The invention relates to an arrangement for connecting a charging plug to a charging interface of a vehicle, with a moving apparatus with a plurality of controllable movement axes; a tool which can be positioned by means of the moving apparatus relative to the vehicle and is configured to hold the charging plug, the tool having a centering device for centering the charging plug within the tool and a controllable tool movement axis for moving the charging plug independently of the movement axes of the moving apparatus; wherein the tool with the charging plug centered therein can be positioned in a predetermined relative position with regard to the charging interface by means of the moving apparatus and the charging plug can subsequently be connected with the charging interface by using the tool movement axis.

Automated connection of a charging plug to a charging interface of a vehicle

A mobile charging station for the electric charging of electric transportation vehicles having at least one battery unit, at least one charging interface for charging the battery unit, at least one second interface for charging an electric transportation vehicle from the battery unit, a method or mechanism for automated navigation of the mobile charging station and a method or mechanism for receiving a charging request. A method for charging an electric transportation vehicle.

Mobile charging station and method for charging an electric transportation vehicle

A method for supplying power from at least one power supply unit to transportation vehicles requiring a power supply, in which a position of a transportation vehicle-side power supply interface of a transportation vehicle requiring power is determined for each transportation vehicle and the transportation vehicle-side power supply interface is automatically coupled to a power supply interface of the power supply unit by the power supply interface of the power supply unit being moved by a robot to the transportation vehicle-side power supply interface and coupled thereto. A robot is responsible for coupling transportation vehicles to a suitable power supply interface of the power supply unit.

Method for implementing at least one power supply procedure from at least one power supply unit to at least one transportation vehicle to be supplied with power
