The body interface can be set as a charging port or a fuel filler port. For example, if the body interface is set as a fuel filler port, due to the angle limitation of the fuel gun, the upward movement of the fuel filler port affects the turning radius of the fuel filler pipe from behind the tire.

If the flange of the side outer panel is adjusted according to the normal The Y-axis straight punching is standard, and the angle between the side panel appearance surface and the stamping direction is less than 30°. The upper punch of the fuel filler port has a sharp-angle feature, which will result in insufficient mold strength, wrinkling of the side panel appearance surface, and cracking of the reshaped side wall. As a result, the distance between the fillet of the side panel appearance surface and the reshaped side wall cannot meet the size requirements of the fuel filler port. The flange of the side panel outer panel is changed to a bevel shaping at a certain angle. The flange of the side panel outer panel cannot be formed by straight punching along the Y axis, and the reshaped side wall of the flange cannot be tilted downward from the inside of the vehicle to the outside of the vehicle.
