A drainage portion extending from one to the other of a bottom wall of a recess and a lid is provided at least above a hydrogen filling port in the recess when the lid is in a closed state. Therefore, water, which has entered the recess from a gap (parting) when the lid is in a closed state, reaches an upper surface of the drainage portion and flows along the upper surface of the drainage portion, and then, the water flows down from the drainage portion while avoiding the hydrogen filling port. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress the water having entered the recess while the lid is in a closed state from adhering to the hydrogen filling port.

A box and a lid that form a fuel filler hole or a charging socket of a car body, the lid including a lid mounting part, and a box mounting arm including a box engaging pin. An open/close spring is attached to the box mounting arm. The box includes a box body, and an arm housing part extending from the box body and including an arm guide that guides the box mounting arm. The box engaging pin of the box mounting arm of the lid is guided into the arm guide of the box and attached to an arm engaging part of the box, while the open/close spring abuts on a connecting point (a spring mounting portion) between an inclined part and a step part of the arm housing part.

Provided is a vehicle body front structure including a front hood (7) provided in a front part of a vehicle body (3), and a port device (30) mounted to the vehicle body and positioned under the front hood. The front hood includes an outer panel (7A) and an inner panel (7B) attached to a back side of the outer panel, the outer panel and the inner panel defining a port opening (21) facing the port device and passed through the outer panel and the inner panel in a thicknesswise direction thereof, and being welded to each other along a peripheral edge (22) of the port opening, and a garnish (23) is provided on an outer surface of a peripheral part of the outer panel surrounding the port opening, and a lid (58) for selectively closing the port opening is provided on the vehicle body.

Provided is a vehicle port device that includes a lid (38) that selectively closes an opening (44) of a port accommodating space facing outwardly on a vehicle body, a first display unit (52) positioned in the port accommodating space, and a second display unit (54) configured to indicate a failure in the port module and positioned in the port accommodating space. The lid includes a translucent part (46A) opposing the first display unit and an opaque part (46B) opposing the second display unit in a closed state of the lid.

A vehicle assembly includes, among other things, a first and a second housing of a fuel inlet assembly. The first housing is securable to an outer panel of a vehicle. A fuel inlet fastener connects together the first and second housings. The fuel inlet fastener is configured to be accessed through a fuel inlet aperture of the outer panel to disconnect the first housing from the second housing. A panel removal method includes disconnecting a first and second housing of a fuel inlet assembly through a fuel inlet aperture in an outer panel of a vehicle. The method further includes removing the outer panel and the first housing from the vehicle.

A closure device for closing an access opening in a motor-vehicle body. An inner chamber is accessible via the access opening and the access opening can be closed by a cap element. The cap element is connected to a guide device, which is arranged in the inner chamber and via which the cap element can be adjusted between a closed position and an open position. The guide device is configured such that the cap element executes a pushing movement and a lifting movement as it moves between the closed position and the open position. The cap element, in the open position, is arranged in the inner chamber.

The present disclosure relates to an energy replenishment port assembly, comprising: a housing seal made of an elastic material; a housing having an installation port, the housing seal being arranged around an edge of the installation port and extending from a reverse side of the edge of the installation port; and a receiving port component comprising a receiving port, the receiving port component being detachably installed on the installation port. The housing seal is configured to being pressed against a vehicle body to sealingly install the housing onto the vehicle body. The receiving port is configured to receive an energy replenishment connector.

A tank flap or charging flap arrangement for a vehicle, including a housing which can be inserted into a mounting opening in the vehicle and has at least one connection part for the refueling or electrical charging of the vehicle, furthermore including a flap arranged on a hinge arm of the tank flap or charging flap arrangement, the hinge arm mounted on the housing so as to be pivotable about a first pivot axis, wherein the flap is mounted on the hinge arm so as to be pivotable about a second pivot axis, and therefore the flap can be pivoted between a closed position, in which the flap closes the housing, and a first opening position, in which the flap opens up access to the at least one connection part for refueling or electrical charging, and a second opening position, which is opened further than the first opening position.

A filler and/or charger flap liner (3) is provided with a seal arrangement. The filler and/or charger flap liner (3) is to be arranged in an opening (6) of an outer side part (4) and in an opening (7) of an outer wheel arch (5). The filler and/or charger flap liner (3) is to be arranged with a first bearing element (8) on an edge of the opening (6) of the outer side part (4) and is to be arranged with a second bearing element (9) on an edge of the opening (7) of the outer wheel arch (5). An at least partially circumferential sealing element (10) is arranged radially outside the openings (6, 7) of the outer side part (4) and the outer wheel arch (5).

An exemplary charge port covering assembly includes, among other things, doors moveable between a covering position where the doors block access to a charge port, and an accessing position where the doors permit access to the charge port. A door release assembly includes a portion that tilts in response to movement of a charger toward an engaged position with the charge port to permit movement of the doors to the accessing position. An exemplary charge port covering method includes, among other things, blocking access to a charge port using a doors in a covering position, and tilting a portion of a door release assembly with a charger. The tilting permits a transitioning of the doors from the covering position to an accessing position where the charger can couple with the charge port.
