A flap unit for covering a charging opening or tank opening of a vehicle may have a frame and a movable cover, which is arranged within a peripheral region of the frame. The cover may be movable between a closed position, in which the cover terminates flush with the frame and is held in place, and an open position. The cover in the case of an opening movement from the closed position as well as in the case of a closing movement from the open position is movable into a partially raised intermediate position.
