How to open the blocked charging port on a Volkswagen Golf-e

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf 8, MK 8, Golf Viii - Years 2019-2026
Part: Body

The refueling nozzle is protected by a flap, in the same way that we can find on cars with an internal combustion engine. What happens if this flap gets stuck? On a Volkswagen Golf-e, it seems to be much simpler than you might think. In fact, it is enough to pry on the outer part of the flap, with a small screwdriver, or with the car key, to open it and refuel.
