A motor-driven cover device for covering and releasing a charging port arranged on the vehicle body of an electric vehicle with respect to a vehicle exterior. A cover plate can cover the charging port in a closed state, a motor can be operatively connected to the cover plate for driving an opening movement and a closing movement of the cover plate. A force transmission device can transmit a motor power for carrying out the opening movement and closing movement of the cover plate. A guide element can guide the cover plate along a movement path during the opening and closing movement of the cover plate. The cover plate can be moved along the vehicle body in a motor-driven manner during the opening and closing movement, the vehicle body covering the cover plate at least partially with respect to the vehicle exterior in an open state of the cover device.
