MUMBAI, India, Aug. 31 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641099888 A) filed by Saveetha Institute Of Medical And Technical Sciences on August 19, 2026, for Ev Charger Port Cap And Hinge Assembly Comprising Polycarbonate Reinforced With Basalt Fibre.
Inventors include R. Endymion Grosious; Dr. Natrayan Lakshmaiya; and Dr Ramya Mohan.
The application for the patent was published on August 28, 2026, under issue no. 35/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to an EV charging port cover assembly constructed from a polycarbonate—basalt fiber composite, designed to provide superior weather resistance, high impact strength, and long-term moisture stability. The reinforced composite material enhances mechanical durability under repeated opening and closing cycles while maintaining dimensional stability under rain, UV exposure, humidity, and temperature fluctuations. The hinge and cap structure exhibit reduced degradation, cracking, or warpage compared to traditional ABS or nylon components frequently used in electric vehicle exterior closures. The invention supports lightweight construction, corrosion resistance, and reliable sealing performance, making it suitable for continuous outdoor exposure in electric vehicles. 'fhe component can be manufactured through injection molding, ensuring precision, reproducibility, and cost-effective mass production. The invention delivers a robust, long-lasting, and stable charger port cover solution for modern EV platforms.
