An exterior service hatch for a vehicle provides access to one or more user-serviceable vehicle utilities, including an electrical charging function, within a service area 2 of the vehicle, and has a cover 3 movable between an open position, providing access to vehicle utilities within service area 2, and a closed position in which service area 2 is inaccessible. One alternative has one or more transparent portions 311 in cover 3 so, when closed, light emitted from one or more vehicle light sources 308a, 308b is transmitted through the transparent portions to provide a means of exterior vehicle lighting. Another alternative has cover 3 securable at the closed position and also at an intermediate position permitting a charging cable to pass from service area 2 to the outside of the vehicle, but preventing access to the service area. Corresponding covers and vehicles are also provided.
