A method of controlling movement of a hatch of an inlet for energy supply of a motorised vehicle between a first hatch position in which the inlet is covered by the hatch and a second hatch position in which the inlet is accessible for providing energy to the motorised vehicle, the hatch being operatively connected to a rotor of a DC electromotor.. The method comprises applying a first voltage level to the windings of the electromotor, the first voltage level being lower than required for movement of the rotor, the application of the first voltage resulting a current having a first current to flow through the windings and monitor the current for one or more variations in the first current level. When the variations detected in the current satisfy a criterion, a second voltage is applied having a second voltage level that is higher than the threshold voltage level.
