An electric charging device for a motor vehicle comprising:
- a charging socket that is configured for connection to a charging plug,
- a locking drive, wherein the locking drive is a linear drive for operating on the locking element, and
- a locking element that is acted upon by the locking drive, wherein on basis of an action by the locking drive, the locking element is linearly moved in a first direction in a first operation to releasably lock the charging plug in relation to the charging socket and is linearly moved in a second direction in a second operation to act upon a further element,
- wherein the further element is configured as a charging flap covering the charging socket.
An electric charging device for a motor vehicle comprising:
- a charging socket that is configured for connection to a charging plug,
- a locking drive, and
- a locking element that is acted upon by the locking drive, wherein on basis of an action by the locking drive, the locking element is configured to perform one of either a first operation comprising releasably locking the charging plug in relation to the charging socket or a second operation comprising acting upon a further element,
- wherein the further element is configured as a charging flap covering the charging socket,
- wherein the locking element is configured at a plug-side end for engaging in a recess of the charging plug when plugged into the charging socket for performing the first operation of locking the charging plug in relation to the charging socket, and
- wherein the locking element is configured at a flap-side end opposite from the plug-side end for engaging in a recess of the charging flap for performing the second operation of acting upon the charging flap.
