Impact absorption systems for charger port

Abstract

Impact absorption systems for a charger port are described herein. In aspects, the impact absorption system includes a top cover portion having a first side and a second side and an impact absorption mechanism coupled to the first side of the top cover portion. The top cover portion is configured to cover at least a first part of the charger port. The top cover portion and the impact absorption mechanism are configured to shift at least partially in a first direction in response to a load applied to the second side of the top cover portion. The impact absorption systems disclosed herein can help absorb, dissipate, and/or distribute loads caused by an operator stepping on the cover of the charger port, thus helping to reduce degradation of enclosed components.
