An electric vehicle (plug-in hybrid, EV, PEV, PHEV), 10, has a number of centrally lockable passenger doors (car doors, vehicle doors), 11, 13, and a charge port (socket, outlet, inlet), 20, for recharging the vehicles battery, 32. The charge port locks a charging plug, 24, in place while charging the battery. The charge port has a charge port door (flap, cover, lid), 22, which is also lockable. When the passenger doors are locked, the unlocking of the charging plug or the charge port door will not result in the unlocking of the passenger doors. A second inventive concept includes the features of checking whether an authorised user/driver is present (proximity sensing) and whether a touch sensitive device (button) associated with the charge port door has been touched before unlocking the charge port door. The unlocking of the charge port door does not change the locking state of the passenger doors. The lock mechanism may be biased to return to a normally locked state. |
