Abstract

A charging device includes an electrically chargeable vehicle and a stationary charging station. In order to establish a galvanic connection between the vehicle and the charging station, the vehicle and the charging station each include at least two electrical contacts being in mutual contact for establishing the galvanic connection between the vehicle and the charging station. The contacts are each elongate. The contacts have specified lengths that are less than the width of the vehicle. The contacts of the vehicle are disposed in a fixed manner on the vehicle. The contacts of the charging station are movable at least vertically. The mutually complementary contacts are disposed in such a way that the contacts extend transversely to each other in a predefined charging position of the vehicle for establishing of the galvanic connection.
