A vehicle charging station charges an energy accumulator in a battery-driven vehicle, namely an electric bus or hybrid vehicle, the vehicle being parked in a pre-defined parking position during the charging process. The charging station contains a base which is arranged in the vicinity of the pre-defined parking position and an articulated arm. One end of which is mounted in a revolute joint on the base and is rotary driven by a rotary drive and the other end is connected to a supply-contact device by a second revolute joint, such that the supply-contact device can be moved, by a pivoting movement of the articulated arm, between an idle position, in which the supply-contact device is positioned above the vehicle roof, and a working position, in which, for charging purposes, electrical contact is made between the supply-contact device and a receiving-contact device arranged in a static manner on the vehicle roof.
