Where is the car charging port located?
1 Answers
Electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids are becoming increasingly popular, making charging a part of daily life. However, unlike fuel-powered cars, the charging port locations for new energy vehicles vary. Some are located at the front grille, some above the rear wheels, and others above the front wheels. Specific details are as follows: Right rear side: BMW places the charging port on the right rear side of the vehicle. The charging port for BMW's first pure electric vehicle, the i3, is located at the right rear of the vehicle. In many European countries, public charging stations are on the right side of the vehicle. Placing the charging port at the rear of the vehicle near the power battery saves materials and costs. Left front side: Similar to Ford and General Motors, BMW's plug-in hybrid charging port is located on the left front side of the vehicle. All of Ford's electric vehicles, whether pure BEVs or PHEVs, have their charging ports on the left front side. Front center: Other manufacturers like Nissan and Audi use the area above the front bumper and grille as the charging port. Several electric vehicles under Audi's parent company, Volkswagen Group, also adopt this front-center plug design. Left rear side: Tesla places the charging port on the left rear side for all its models, with the Model S and Model X integrating the charging port into the rear taillight lens.
