A mass transit rapid charging system comprising a conductive portion 51 such as a rail and a safety arrangement which activates the conductor when the vehicle is present, wherein charging is carried out in excess of 500kW, perhaps as high as 750kW. The safety system may detect the weight of the vehicle, and maybe a signal from the vehicle. The conductive portion may be located below the vehicle and may be contacted by a shoe 41, which contact may activate the safety system. The conductor 51 may be 3 to 5 metres long, and the ends may have a ramp 55. There may be a second conductor 52 and second shoe 42 arranged next to the first 41, 51. The charging arrangement may be on a concrete slab, and that slab may include railway tracks. The concrete slab with the charging arrangement may be prefabricated or may be a kit of parts.
