Method of connecting a connector of an electric vehicle charger to a socket on an electric vehicle with a supposed position and orientation, wherein: - the connector and the socket: ∘ each have multiple poles that are electrically mutually connectable by establishing electrically conductive pin-and-hole connection pairs, wherein the connector comprises a pin and the socket an associated hole, and/or the connector comprises a hole and the socket an associated pin, wherein: ∘ each pin-and-hole pair has a centre line extending axially from the centre of the pin or hole concerned, which centre lines are parallel; - are connectable by one unique movement directed towards each other, which movement has: ∘ a direction parallel to the direction of the centre lines of the pins and holes, and ∘ a mutual orientation of the connector and socket wherein the respective centre lines of the pins and holes of at least two pin-and-hole connection pairs coincide; - each comprise a housing; where the connector and socket housings: ∘ are connectable by the same unique movement directed towards each other; ∘ comprise mechanical guiding portions, protruding in a direction parallel to the direction of the centre lines beyond the end of the pins; the method comprising the steps of: A. determining the supposed position and orientation of the socket; B. moving the connector in the direction of the supposed position of the socket with the aid of an automated actuator and/or manipulator; C. positioning, with the aid of said automated actuator or said manipulator the connector adjacent to the supposed socket position of the connector, with at least an intentional angular rotation about an axis, wherein the angle between the axis and the direction of the unique movement is greater than zero, the direction of the unique movement being with respect to the mutual orientation of the connector and socket wherein the respective centre lines of the pins and holes of at least two pin-and-hole connection pairs coincide; D. performing, by said automated actuator or manipulator, an active rotational manipulation of the connector thereby taking away an angular difference between the supposed position and the adjacent position; and E. connecting, with the aid of said automated actuator or said manipulator the connector and socket by performing the unique movement directed towards each other. - the connector and the socket: ∘ each have multiple poles that are electrically mutually connectable by establishing electrically conductive pin-and-hole connection pairs, wherein the connector comprises a pin and the socket an associated hole, and/or the connector comprises a hole and the socket an associated pin, wherein: ∘ each pin-and-hole pair has a centre line extending axially from the centre of the pin or hole concerned, which centre lines are parallel;
