ABSTRACT:
A weatherized curb-side battery charging system that provides a mechanism for transferring electrical power to an electric vehicle to recharge its battery. The battery charging system includes a housing that is disposed on a wall or is slidably attached to a track mounted to a ceiling, for example A retractable charging device is coupled to a power supply and mates with a receptacle device disposed in the vehicle. A variety of charging devices that may be employed in the battery charging system are disclosed. Electronic circuitry controls power supplied to the vehicle from the power supply of the charging system. In addition, an interface circuit is provided that allows a user to enter a code to use the system and that provides an identification for billing purposes, or a credit card type key that activates the system and performs the same functions. A fan is provided for cooling purposes that causes an air flow through the system. The curb-side charging system thus permits an operator of an electric vehicle to charge its battery in a convenient manner. The battery charging system allows an electric vehicle to be charged safely without any type of conventional electrical plug. The battery charging system provides a safe, convenient and weatherproof mechanism for coupling power from a power source to an electric vehicle to recharge its battery.
