Abstract: A power supply connection for arrangement in the region of an outer contour of a motor vehicle, in particular of an electric vehicle, having a power supply opening associated with a housing mounted on the vehicle in a ready-to-operate functional state. The power supply opening can be closed by a closing cover mounted movably on the vehicle between an open position and a closed position and actuated by an electrically activatable control device coupled to a capacitive sensor system in order to allow the closing cover to be opened and/or closed depending on a gesture control operation by a person in the region of the power supply opening. The closing cover is of an electrically conductive design and is electrically coupled to the capacitive sensor system.
