  • the USB-port is provided in a recessed ledge 12. So as to protect the port in case of water damage, in case the plug is laid down on a wet surface.
  • Figure 4 also shows, separate from the before mentioned that the body 3 is recessed directly underneath the tie-down eye 10. So that the presence of the recess increases the diameter of the through hole of the tie-down eye, and wherein preferably the recess is formed by an inward deflection of a portion of the body 3 towards the battery compartment 6, such as shown in figure 3.
  • Figure 5 shows that the plug body is designed such that a display, a light indicator, and optionally a surface, such as surface 5, underneath which an NFC-antenna is housed, are integrated within a single body portion C forming a part of the handle 4, and wherein the body 3 of the plug is comprised of two sides A, B, as shown in Figure 4, which are assembled with portion C to form a housing.
  • Figure 5 also shows the plug being connected to a combined charging system CSS
  • FIG. 6 shows a possible design of a new charging port 100 of a vehicle provided with an OBD-port, such as an OBD-II port.
  • the charging port comprising a conventional charging port 101, and may be a CSS charging port comprising features of a type 1 or type 2 charging port with DC charging features. This is reflected by the dotted lines, which indicate the optionality of this portion.
  • the conventional charging port 101 here may have a PP, PE and CP connection port.
  • the closable cap 102 is designed for reversibly covering both the OBD and conventional charging port upon closing.
  • FIG. 7 shows an assembly 30 of the plug 1 and a docking station 20 for recharging the plug 1.
  • the station 20 is provided with a platform 21 comprising a portion for providing electrical energy to the charging portion, such as a USB connector and/or inductive charging coil, (not shown but customary) .
  • the station 20 has a standard 22 projecting upwards from said base, in this example integral with said base, for maintaining the plug in an upright orientation.
  • the station is provided with a recess 23 wherein the charging portion is arranged, and wherein the recess is designed for a snug fit with the distal end of the handle, but wherein also separate from this example the recess is designed such that a portion of the indicator light remains visible.
  • the plug may also be programmed to indicate by means of the display and/or color of the indicator what the charging state is, such as complete or charging.
  • the docking station may further optionally be provided with an internet connection port, and wherein the plug is designed to receive updates via the docking station.
  • the plug also separate from the embodiments according to the Figures can be designed as a charge connection simulator for setting up digital communication, such as PLC and/or LIN-CP, with the vehicle the plug designed to:
  • - optionally support a release button comprised in the plug, for releasing the plug from the charge port, when the charge port locks the plug;
  • CP Status indication that correct connection is established, such as by circuit board; and - optionally displaying said correct connection using an indicator, such as an LED or display, comprised in the plug.
  • the simulator is programmed to leave the CP connection is open, such as when communicative contact with a vehicle is established.
