Abstract
A vehicle lid opening/closing device includes: a base portion mounted on a vehicle body; an opening exposing a supply port for supplying energy to a vehicle; a lid closing the opening; and a link mechanism opening/closing the lid between predetermined closed and opened positions. The link mechanism includes first and second arms each rotatably supported at one end portion thereof by the base portion and at another end portion thereof by the lid. The second arm rotates in synchronization with rotation of the first arm and is positionable in a rotation trajectory of the first arm when seen in a thrust direction. The first and second arms respectively have overlap portions overlapping each other in the thrust direction at the lid opened position, and stopper portions coming into contact with each other in a rotation direction at the lid opened position to restrict further opening of the lid.
