<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To propose a vehicle charging port structure which absorbs a pinching force when inserting/removing a charge coupler with elastic deformation and absorbing energy of a frontal collision force through plastic deformation. <P>SOLUTION: A support plate 11 for a charging port 15 forms a through opening 12 in the vehicle width direction together with an upper cross member 6 and a vertical retainer 7 as the attachment partner. Then, the vehicle body support rigidity of the charging port 15 is not too high, so that when a pinching force is applied to the charging port 15 when the charge coupler is inserted/removed into/from the charging port, the pinching force is absorbed through the elastic deformation of the support plate 11 itself. The support plate 11 is crushed by a frontal collision force to reliably absorb the collision energy. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
