Question

Hello Rabbi, Is it permissible to charge a car or phone, etc., on Friday before Shabbat so that it charges during Shabbat? Thank you very much.

Answer

Shalom and blessings,

It is permissible to connect a device to the electrical system so that it charges on Shabbat.

Since the person's work is completed before Shabbat, and the continuation happens by itself.
