The present invention relates to a ceiling mounted charging station for charging the battery of an electric vehicle (210) parking on a parking space (200). The charging station comprises a charging arm (120) for connection with the electric vehicle (210). The first end of the charging arm (120) is mounted to a housing (140) of the charging station. A charging interface (180) for connection with a corresponding charging socket (220) of the electric vehicle (210) is located at a second end of the charging arm (120) opposite to the first end. The charging arm (120) is rotatable with respect to the housing (140) between a stored-position and a use-position. The distance of the second end of the charging arm (120) to the ground (250) of the parking space (200) is smaller in the use-position as in the store-position. The invention furthermore relates to a parking structure comprising a multiplicity of parking spaces (15) for vehicles and at least one charging station (22, 23) mounted to the ceiling of the parking structure. The inventive charging station and the inventive parking structure provide the possibility of an easy charging of electric vehicles, wherein installation costs are low.
