  • Patent number: 11198361
    Abstract: A drainage portion extending from one to the other of a bottom wall of a recess and a lid is provided at least above a hydrogen filling port in the recess when the lid is in a closed state. Therefore, water, which has entered the recess from a gap (parting) when the lid is in a closed state, reaches an upper surface of the drainage portion and flows along the upper surface of the drainage portion, and then, the water flows down from the drainage portion while avoiding the hydrogen filling port. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress the water having entered the recess while the lid is in a closed state from adhering to the hydrogen filling port.
