An arrangement for providing a charging connection for an electric vehicle (EV) includes a conduit 10 received within an elongate groove 30 formed in a surface of a pavement 34 or sidewalk. The conduit has an open state (fig 4), in which the conduit defines an opening 32 at the surface of the pavement, through which at least a portion of a vehicle charging cable 12 may be inserted into the conduit. The conduit has a closed state (fig 5), in which an exposed surface 36 of the conduit at the surface of the pavement covers the vehicle charging cable. The conduit includes: an outer sleeve 16 that has a first open channel; and an inner sleeve 22 that is arranged within the first open channel, the inner sleeve having a second open channel 24 for receiving the vehicle charging cable. The inner sleeve is rotatable within the outer sleeve to move the conduit between open and closed states. The conduit may extend transversely across the width of the pavement between a domestic residence on one side of the pavement and a road providing on-street parking on the other side of the pavement. The conduit prevents the charging cable from presenting a trip hazard to pedestrians using the pavement.
