A positioning unit for electrically driven vehicles and a method for forming an electrically conductive connection between an electrically driven vehicle and a stationary charging station having a positioning unit configured to be disposed on a vehicle roof. The positioning unit includes a contact device that is moveable relative to a charging contact device of the charging station and is electrically connectable to the charging contact device in a contact position, and an articulated arm device for positioning the contact device and a drive device for driving the articulated arm device. The articulated arm device includes for pivoting the contact device from a storing state to a vertical contact state and vice versa, and a second pivot arm for pivoting the contact device from the retracted position to the contact position and vice versa. The first pivot arm is disposed to be pivotable on a distal end of the second pivot arm.
