[0035] According to some embodiments of the present application, with reference to Figure 1The docking end 21 is provided with a plurality of charging interfaces 22, and the charging interfaces 22 are different in charging power. For example, the docking end 21 is provided with two charging interfaces 22, which are a fast charging port 24 and a slow charging port 25. By providing the docking end 21 with a plurality of charging interfaces 22, and the charging interfaces 22 being different in charging power, the charging interfaces 22 can meet the charging needs of users at different speeds.

[0036] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 1 The vehicle comprises a detection module 15 arranged on the docking end 21 and configured to detect whether the charging interface 22 is connected to the charging device. The detection module 15 is electrically connected to the control module 50, and the control module 50 is configured to control the driving assembly 40 according to the detection information of the detection module 15. By providing the vehicle with the detection module 15 and electrically connecting the detection module 15 to the control module 50, the control module 50 can control the driving assembly 40 according to the detection result of the detection module 15 to open or close the charging port cover 30.

[0037] When the vehicle needs to be charged, the control module 50 controls the driving assembly 40 to move, so that the charging port cover 30 is rotated to open the charging port 11.

[0038] When the detection module 15 detects that the charging interface 22 is connected to the charging device, the detection module 15 transmits the detection result to the control module 50, and the control module 50 controls the driving assembly 40 to maintain the charging port cover 30 in the open state.

[0039] When the detection module 15 detects that the charging device is unplugged, the detection module 15 transmits the detection result to the control module 50, and the control module 50 controls the driving assembly 40 to move, so that the charging port cover 30 is rotated to close the charging port 11.

[0040] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 1 The detection module 15 is an infrared detection module 15. By providing the detection module 15 as an infrared detection module 15, the detection module 15 can automatically detect the position of the charging interface 22.

[0041] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 1 The charging interface 22 comprises a first charging end face 23 and a charging terminal arranged on the first charging end face 23. The detection module 15 is arranged on the first charging end face 23.
