Means for Resolution A charging connector 43 is connected to a charging port 44 mounted on a vehicle body side. The charging connector 43 includes: a lock lever 16 which is displaceable between a lock position where the lock lever 16 is engaged with a hook 30 mounted on the charging port 44 and a lock release position where engagement between the lock lever 16 and the hook 30 is released; and a manipulation lever 12 which is provided for displacing the lock lever 16 to the lock release position from the lock position. The manipulation lever 12 and the lock lever 16 are connected to each other by a link 23. The lock lever 16 is biased to the lock position by a spring 13. The lock lever 16 and the link 23 are arranged such that, when the lock lever 16 is at the lock release position, at least one of the lock lever 16 and the link 23 interferes with an operation range of a charging start switch 14 thus inhibiting an operation of the charging start switch 14. |
