CHARGING PORT OF A HYBRID OR ELECTRIC VEHICLE

A charging port assembly (100) of a hybrid or electric vehicle comprises a holder or base plate (200) and a charging socket (300). The charging socket (300) is adapted to receive and guide two or more levers (308), which are connected in pairs by a respective bracket (310). The brackets (310) are adapted to cooperate with oblique guide planes (332) of the levers (308), for translating a displacement of the levers (308) relative to the bracket (310) in a first direction along the levers (308) into a displacement of the levers (308) in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, thereby moving locking studs (334) of the levers (308) into non-resilient latching means (206) of the base plate, and fixing the charging socket (300) to the holder or base plate (200).
