Abstract

A charge and discharge device for an electric vehicle includes a cable, a holder, and a cable suspending portion. The cable has a distal end at which a charge connector is provided. The charge connector is coupled to an electric vehicle to charge and discharge. The holder holds the charge connector. The cable suspending portion suspends and holds the cable. The holder and the cable suspending portion are disposed at a housing installed on a wall surface. The cable is extracted from the housing. The housing has a side portion at which a tapered surface as a surface facing obliquely ahead is disposed. The holder is mounted on the tapered surface.

Claims

1. A charge and discharge device for an electric vehicle comprising:

a cable that has a distal end at which a charge connector is provided, the charge connector being coupled to an electric vehicle to charge and discharge;

a holder that holds the charge connector; and

a cable suspending portion that suspends acid holds the cable, wherein

the holder and the cable suspending portion ate disposed at a housing installed on a wall surface, the cable being extracted from the housing, and

the housing has a side portion at which a tapered surface as a surface facing obliquely ahead is disposed, and the holder being mourned on the tapered surface.

2. The charge and discharge device for the electric vehicle according to claim 1, wherein

the tapered surfaces are vertically formed at right and left side portions of the housing and formed from right and left end portions of a front surface of the housing, and the holder is mounted on any one of the tapered surfaces.

3. The charge and discharge device for the electric vehicle according to claim 2, wherein

the holder is mounted on a lower portion of the tapered surface, and while a part on which at least the holder of the tapered surface is mounted has a width equal to or larger than a width of the holder, an inclined surface facing obliquely upward is disposed at a front surface upper portion of the housing, and the housing has a forward projection that decreases toward an upper portion.
