Charging electric vehicles at shared charging stations may involve waiting in line to connect one's vehicle. By allowing multiple motorcycles to charge in parallel at a charging station, better use of the available space can be made and the process can be more efficient for motorcyclists riding in groups. Connectors and cables are configured to connect a chain of motorcycles in parallel to a single charging station. The connectors and cables carry the charging current to each motorcycle and include communication wiring. One motorcycle is deemed a manager motorcycle, which detects the other motorcycles in the chain and initiates charging. Each motorcycle's battery management system controls the amount of charge for its respective battery.
