- Secure connection between the cable and the housing
- Versatile system that can be used in various charging scenarios

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
- Electric vehicle charging station equipment
- Home charging systems for electric vehicles
- Public charging infrastructure for electrified vehicles

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be existing electric vehicle charging systems with similar cable and housing interfaces.

== Unanswered Questions ==
=== How does the housing protect the socket from environmental elements? ===
The patent application does not provide details on how the housing ensures the socket's protection from elements like water or dust.

=== What materials are used in the construction of the housing and cables? ===
The patent application does not specify the materials used in the housing, first cable, and second cable construction.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

This disclosure relates to a battery charging system for an electrified vehicle, and in particular relates to an interface for a cable and a housing. The charging system includes a housing, a first cable including a plug configured to couple to a charging port of the electrified vehicle, and a second cable including a first plug configured to couple to an electrical outlet and a second plug configured to couple to a socket of the housing. Further, the housing includes a projection surrounding the socket and projecting beyond an adjacent exterior surface of the housing.
