Abstract
A connection device for charging electric vehicles provides direct electrical connection for an external source of electricity to charge the battery of an electric vehicle. It mainly comprises a movable charging terminal combined with a switch, both located on the body of an electric vehicle. When the charging terminal is moved into a position that enables an electrical connection with an external source of electricity, the switch is automatically moved into a position that cuts off electricity to the driving motor of the electric vehicle, rendering the electric vehicle incapable of being started during electric charging, thus preventing accidents from occurring.
