Abstract: A locking device for locking a charging flap of an electrically operated motor vehicle, with a latching device, a latch catch device and a receiving device. The receiving device includes a receptacle in which the latch catch device is accommodated in a form-fitting manner and is fixedly clamped. The latching device is connectable to a body component of the motor vehicle and the receiving device is connectable to the charging flap of the motor vehicle. The latching device is connectable in a locking position in a form-fitting manner to the latch catch device and in a release position is separable from the latch catch device. The latch catch device is designed in order, in the locking position of the latching device, to be removable without destruction from the receptacle by exertion of a predetermined minimum pull-off force by the latching device along a pull-off direction.

Abstract: A motor vehicle rear end has left and right longitudinal beams (12, 14) forming load-bearing structures of the vehicle, and a receiving housing (18) is between the left and right longitudinal beams (12, 14) for accommodating a traction battery. The receiving housing (18) has left and right side walls (22, 24) and a central wall (26) running in a forward direction of travel. An impact profile (26) is connected to the longitudinal beams (12, 14) at the level of the receiving housing (18) and absorbs impact energy in the event of a rear-end crash. The impact profile (26) has a left and right predetermined buckling points (36, 38) that enable the impact profile (26) to buckle toward the receiving housing (18) in a rear-end crash. The impact profile (26) that buckles in a rear-end crash strikes the receiving housing (18) along the longitudinal extent of the central wall (25).

Abstract: A motor vehicle rear (10) has left and right longitudinal members (12) forming a supporting structure of the motor vehicle. A receiving housing (18) is arranged between the longitudinal members (12) for receiving a traction battery. The receiving housing (18) has a left and right side walls (22, 24) running in the forward direction of travel. A back wall (20) is connected to the left and right side walls (22) and running transverse to the forward direction of travel. An impact profile (26) is connected to the left and right longitudinal members (12, 14) and absorbs impact energy in the event of a rear crash. Left and right reinforcing elements (32 34) connect the impact profile (26) to the respective left and right side walls (22, 24) for reinforcing the impact profile (26) and conducting away some of the impact energy into the left and right side walls (22, 24).
