A motor vehicle is disclosed having an energy storage device that is replenished with energy by inductive coupling with a fixed inductive charging point using a vehicle mounted inductive coupling member. A three dimensional positioning mechanism is used to position the inductive coupling member so that it is aligned with and positioned in close proximity to the fixed charging point thereby ensuring a high coupling efficiency between the inductive coupling member and the fixed charging point. The use of a three dimensional positioning mechanism has the advantage that the inductive coupling member can be positioned accurately without the need to position the motor vehicle accurately.
