Aspects of the subject disclosure relate to automatic actuation of a vehicle charging port closure based on one or more detections. A device implementing the subject technology may include at least one processor configured to detect conditions such as a battery charge state, a proximity to a charger, an elapsed time since last charge, and/or whether the charging station is one at which charging is frequently performed. Such detections can form the basis of a determination that the user is likely to utilize the charging port, and the vehicle and provide automatic actuation. Accordingly, automatic handsfree opening of the charging port closure can be provided.
