Abstract: An automotive connector includes an outer shell, an inner shell mated with the outer shell, and a conductive assembly assembled in the inner shell. The hooks of the outer shell can be detached from the slots of the inner shell, so that the outer shell can be detached from the inner shell. Therefore, another outer shell can be assembled with the inner shell, so that outer shells with different insertion openings can be assembled with the same inner shell conveniently. Therefore, the outer shell of the automotive connector can be replaced quickly.

Abstract: Provided is a charging controller that controls a process of charging a battery from an external power source. When an outside air temperature is equal to or lower than a predetermined temperature, the charging controller charges the battery from a time earlier than a scheduled time of use of the battery by a predetermined time until the scheduled time of use. Thus, even when the outside air temperature is equal to or lower than the predetermined temperature, the temperature of the battery has been raised by heat generated during the charging by the time of use of the battery.

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 selectively extends through an opening in a housing forming the socket of the charging port. The ejector may also include a driver assembly that forces the pusher assembly through the opening to eject the charging connector while allowing the pusher assembly to be freely withdrawn when the charging connector is inserted.

Abstract: A plug connector part for charging an electrically-operated vehicle is provided. The plug connector part includes at least one electrical contact element which is connectable along an insertion direction to a counter-contact element of a counter-plug connector part and has a plurality of contact lamellae grouped around a plug opening for receiving the counter-contact element. The plug connector part also includes a spring element arranged at the contact lamellae circumferentially around the insertion direction, at least in portions, in order to provide a mechanical pre-tensing. Further, a sensor device is configured to detect a measurement variable and is arranged at least at one of the contact lamellae and is held by the spring element at the at least one of the contact lamellae.
