Abstract

An inductive charging unit for a vehicle includes a trough-shaped base support having a base surface and the base surface has laterally enclosing side walls where the base surface and the side walls form a trough. The charging unit further includes a top surface opposite the base surface and a primary coil for inductive coupling to a secondary coil associated with the vehicle, where the primary coil is disposed in the trough. A filling material is disposed in the trough and surrounds the primary coil so as to fix the primary coil mechanically.
