Abstract
A vehicular electric charging system includes a charging connector and a cover panel disposed at an electric vehicle. The cover panel conceals the charging connector when the cover panel is in a closed position. The cover panel is movable from the closed position toward an open position, and the charging connector moves from a stowed position toward a charging position when the cover panel is moved toward or to the open position. With the charging connector at the charging position, the charging connector electrically connects with a charging wand. With the charging connector electrically connected with the charging wand, the cover panel moves from the open position toward a retaining position. With the cover panel in the retaining position, the cover panel at least partially surrounds the charging connector and charging wand and engages the charging wand to retain the charging wand in electrical connection with the charging connector.
