Abstract
A charging arrangement includes an electrical vehicle and a charging device configured for charging the electrical vehicle with electrical energy, where the electrical vehicle includes a first charging connector, and the charging device includes a second charging connector configured for connecting with the first charging connector, a bi-stable mechanics to which the second charging connector is attached and which is configured for holding the second charging connector in two stable equilibrium positions, whereby in one stable equilibrium position the second charging connector is connected to the first charging connector and the other stable equilibrium position the second charging connector is unconnected to the first charging connector and an actuation device configured for moving the second charging connector between the two stable equilibrium positions.
