Disclosed herein are movable charge port systems for electric vehicles. An electric vehicle may include a charge port capable of coupling with and receiving electrical power from a charging station. The charge port may be movably secured in a concealed position and configured to move from the concealed position to an exposed position to enable the charge port to couple with the charging station. The vehicle may include a motor configured to move the charge port from the concealed position to the exposed position and processing circuitry configured to command the motor to move the charge port. The charge port may be exposed automatically in response to detecting the presence of a charging station nearby.
