Abstract
An ejector for electric vehicle charging connectors is provided. An ejector can be configured to be secured on the inside of the charging port of an EV and to automatically eject or push the charging connector from the charging port. The ejector may include a pusher assembly that can be selectively retracted to allow a charging connector to be plugged into the charging port and can be selectively released to eject the charging connector from the charging port. The ejector can include a retracting assembly for selectively retracting the pusher assembly and a locking assembly for retaining the pusher assembly in the retracted position until it is desired to eject the charging connector.
