Systems and methods for delivery of power or fluids

An electrical delivery apparatus, comprising:

• a plug assembly configured to be inserted into a receptacle apparatus of a vehicle to deliver electrical power to the vehicle;
• a control means configured to:
• upon activation, deliver electrical power to the vehicle via an electrical line and the plug assembly, wherein the control means is activated by detecting a button-press by an operator, and
• upon detection of at least one predetermined condition, automatically disconnect the electrical power from the electrical line and the plug assembly,
• wherein the at least one predetermined condition includes disconnection of the plug assembly from the receptacle apparatus.
