Charging Inlet Wire Harness Layout for Easier EV Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The internal space of a vehicle has a complicated shape due to structural members and installed parts, making it difficult to route a wire harness connected to a charging inlet effectively.
Innovation Solution
A wire harness routing structure that positions the tip of the charging inlet inside the vehicle, allowing the wire harness to be routed almost linearly from the charging inlet to the battery unit, with strategic bends and inclines to facilitate easy installation.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the wire harness is routed along the complicated shape of the internal space, then the wire harness can be connected to the battery, but the routing workability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The charging inlet tip is extended into the vehicle interior space through the vehicle body side part, changing the spatial dimension of the connection point. This allows the wire harness to be routed more directly from the charging inlet to the battery, reducing the complexity of the routing path while maintaining reliable connection.
