Abstract
This driving device for energy replenishment port visor member includes: a visor member which advances/retracts between an advanced position for covering, from above, a replenishment port exposed at a vehicle-body-side opening and used for replenishing a vehicle with energy, and a retracted position where the visor member is retracted from above the replenishment port; a visor driving unit which advances/retracts the visor member between the advanced position and the retracted position; a gun connection detection unit which detects whether or not an energy replenishment gun is connected to the replenishment port; and a control unit which causes the visor driving unit to execute advancing-driving for advancing the visor member from the retracted position to the advanced position, when the gun connection detection unit has detected that the energy replenishment gun is connected to the replenishment port in a state in which the visor member is at the retracted position.
