Charging stations for electric vehicles may include arms that extend from a structure to allow easy deployment of a charging plug to a charging receptacle on an electric vehicle. The arms may be pivotally connected to the structure. Charging cables may be attached to the arms by a break away construction. Arms may include mechanical fuses that deform or break when excessive forces are applied to the arms. These features of construction can help to protect the charging station and charging cable from damage. Charging stations may include other features including lighting, motion sensors, cameras, and suspended plug cradles.
