charging flap latch

A **charging flap latch** is the mechanical or electronic locking mechanism that secures the charging flap (also called the charging port door) on an electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle.

It keeps the flap closed when not in use and may lock it during charging to prevent unauthorized removal of the charging cable. The latch can be operated manually, electronically, or integrated with the vehicle’s central locking system.
