Provided is a lid device, which is compact and can be installed in an efficient manner. The lid device (20) releasably locks a lid (10) provided with a hinge (12) in a closed position. The lid device is provided with a push lifter (32) that alternates between an extended state and a retracted state each time the lid is pushed, a motor (46) placed next to the push lifter, a lock member (18) and a transmission mechanism (64) for transmitting the output of the motor. The lock member and the transmission mechanism are positioned between the push lifter and a side profile of the drive unit remote from the push lifter, and the lock member is moveable in a direction substantially perpendicular to a lengthwise direction of the push lifter and a direction from the push lifter toward the drive unit.

A vehicle fuel door assembly includes a cover comprising a plurality of alignment features fixedly disposed relative to the cover, the plurality of alignment features formed of an elastically deformable material. The assembly also includes a hinge comprising a plurality of alignment elements fixedly disposed relative to the hinge, each of the alignment features interferingly, deformably and matingly engageable with a respective alignment element, the alignment features elastically deforming to an elastically averaged final configuration that aligns the cover relative to the hinge in six planar orthogonal directions by averaging the elastic deformation of the respective alignment features.

The push lifter and the motor are arranged such that a lengthwise direction of the push lifter and a lengthwise direction of the motor are parallel to each other.

A charging flap system for a motor vehicle that is at least partially operated electrically has a charging connection, which is arranged in a charging well, for electrically charging the motor vehicle, in particular a battery of the motor vehicle, a pivotable, outer covering flap which covers the charging well in a closed position and opens up same in an open position, and a pivotable, inner charging flap which opens up the charging connection in a charging position. The inner charging flap and the outer covering flap interact in such a manner that the outer covering flap and the inner charging flap are coupled to each other in a form-fitting manner in an intermediate position between the open position and the closed position.
