Abstract: A close-out assembly includes a housing and an inlet. The housing includes a wall that surrounds an opening. The wall includes an outer edge adjacent to the face plate and an inner edge. The inlet is coupled to the wall, and the inlet is accessible through the opening. The assembly includes a door coupled to the housing that is movable relative to the housing. The assembly includes a seal formed to the wall at the outer edge of the wall and the inner edge of the wall. The door engages one part of the seal when the door is in a closed position, and the inlet engages another part of the seal regardless of the position of the door. A method of manufacturing the assembly includes positioning a housing relative to a mold, and molding an elastomeric material to the housing using the mold to form a seal.

Abstract: A charge port module for an electric vehicle (EV) includes a charge port body having a first side, a second side, and an interface for mounting to an EV body. The module also includes a receptacle on the charge port body first side and configured to accept a charging plug. The module additionally includes an electrical connector on the charge port body second side, in electrical communication with the receptacle, and configured to engage an EV electrical system. The first side of the charge port body defines a channel. The module also includes a cartridge configured to slidingly engage the channel. The cartridge includes a cartridge body defining an access opening configured to facilitate charging plug access to the receptacle after the cartridge has engaged and has seated in the channel. A light element is arranged on the cartridge body and configured to illuminate the receptacle.

Abstract: A port-door release assembly includes a door and a linkage coupled to the door to support the door during movement between open and closed positions. The port-door release assembly includes a drive shaft coupled to the linkage to drive movement of the linkage. The port-door release assembly includes a motor configured to rotate the drive shaft which moves the linkage and the door to the open and/or closed positions. The port-door release assembly includes a back-up release assembly movable relative to the linkage to disconnect the drive shaft from the linkage which allows the door to move to the open position without actuation of the motor. A door assembly includes the port-door release assembly as described above and a housing defining a port in which the door is movable relative to the housing between the open position that uncovers the port and the closed position that covers the port.
