The invention relates to a positioning unit and to a method for forming an electrically conductive connection between an electrically driven vehicle, more particularly electric bus or the like, and a stationary charging station, using a positioning unit, wherein: the positioning unit is designed such that it can be arranged on a vehicle roof; a contact device of the positioning unit is movable relative to a charging contact device of the charging station and can be electrically contacted by said charging contact device in a contact position; the positioning unit has an articulated arm device (32) for positioning the contact device and a drive device (33) for driving the articulated arm device; the articulated arm device has a pivoting mechanism with a pivoting arm (34) that can be pivoted about a pivot axis (37), by means of which pivoting mechanism the contact device is pivotable from a storage orientation in a retracted position of the positioning unit for storing the contact device into a contact orientation of the contact position, and vice versa; and the positioning unit comprises a holding device (36) by means of which the pivoting arm can be form-fittingly fixed in the storage orientation.
