Pioneering charge socket flap modules for electric vehicles
The innovative concept from SCS featuring an electrically operated, inward-opening charge port flap and the patented “Sequence Kinematic SCS” offers a convenient charging solution with high-end appeal for electric vehicles. The CPM system allows the modular incorporation of additional functions such as lighting, charging level monitoring and communication interfaces. With its highly efficient kinematics, this solution requires only a minimum of installation space and ensures optimised body contours with a minimal cut-out. This solution prevents vandalism and incorrect use while enabling the driver to plug-indem and unplug the charging cable with the greatest of ease, without the inconvenient and cumbersome components of conventional flap solutions. The ergonomic and space-saving configuration also lends itself to possible future scenarios involving mobile and stationary charging robots.
