Methods and systems for coupling a chargeable battery in an electric vehicle with a charging station are disclosed. One such system includes an arm mountable on the vehicle, an actuator coupled to the arm and configured to move the arm, and a charger coupled to the arm and electrically couplable to the vehicle's electrical system. A processor is communicatively coupled to the actuator and configured to control the actuator. The processor is also communicatively coupled to a readable memory. The readable memory has stored thereon instructions executable by the processor for controlling the actuator to move the charger to electrically couple with the charging station.
