A vehicle includes: an on-board inverter that adjusts the voltage of an electric power; and a vehicle inlet. The vehicle inlet has a CS terminal through which a proximity detection signal for identifying the connection state between a discharge connector and the vehicle inlet is transmitted. An electronic control unit (ECU) includes a processor that selects the voltage of an electric power output from the on-board inverter. When the proximity detection signal is in a first bound (a fourth range or a fifth range), the processor selects AC 100V, and when the proximity detection signal is in a second bound (a fifth range or a sixth range) at least partially different from the first bound, the processor selects AC 200V higher than AC 100V.

A rotary plug electrical connector includes a plug and a socket, both of which include power contacts and signal contacts. The plug is rotatable within the socket between operable and inoperable positions. The power contacts of the socket include opposed surfaces which are engaged by resilient blade power contacts of the plug. The signal contact of the socket preferably includes a pair of contacts, and the signal contact of the plug preferably is a bridge contact that engages the socket signal contacts in the operable position and disengages the socket signal contacts in the inoperable position. When the signal contacts are disengaged, no power is transferred by the connector.

A charging socket for a power supply arrangement for supplying a motor vehicle with electrical energy via a conductive plug connection has at least one electrical mating contact for conductively contacting a contact of a charging station. The electrical mating contact is displaceably mounted with respect to a central longitudinal axis of the charging socket in the radial direction between a first mating contact position and a second mating contact position different from the first mating contact position, wherein the charging socket has an adjusting ring which is mounted rotatably about the central longitudinal axis and has at least one adjustment ramp which, in a first angular position of the adjusting ring, permits a displacement of the electrical mating contact into the first mating contact position and, in a second angular position of the adjusting ring, pushes the electrical mating contact into the second mating contact position. A power supply arrangement and a method for operating a charging socket are also provided.
