Investing.com -- Apple has been granted an electric vehicle charging-related patent, it was revealed Tuesday.

First reported by the website Patently Apple, the patent is for a charging station that allows "an electric vehicle to connect to a charging station without manual connection by an operator."

The patent application by Apple is a continuation of previous U.S. patent applications.

"Charging stations that require manual connection of the vehicle to the charging station do not permit charging to be performed when no human operator is present," Apple said.

"As an example, a charging station may include a charging plug that is mounted using one or more passive translation stages that change position upon contact with a structure that is formed on the vehicle," they added.

According to Patently Apple, this is the second patent awarded to Apple for the invention.

Apple shares (NASDAQ:AAPL) rose 1.8% Tuesday.
