Abstract
This present invention relates to an automated electric vehicle charging system that eliminates the need to locate a cord and plug the cord into the receptacle and/or battery outlet. The electric vehicle automatic charging system comprises a wall-mounted or self-standing charging unit and several charging receptacles housed adjacent a tire track to transfer electricity from the charging unit to the vehicle for re-charging the vehicle's battery. The electric vehicle automatic charging system further comprises spring-loaded and weatherproof plastic covers for the receptacles to protect the receptacle from being damaged when the system is not in use.
