Tesla custom fit charge port cover to protect CCS pins while charging
I have tried many port covers for my CCS outlet on my Tesla Model 3 Performance but most of them don’t fit right or the Tesla charge port doesn’t close well. I have finally found one that is high quality and fits great and wanted to share that with you in this quick video.
Quality CCS fast charging port door cover protection for Tesla and other EV electric cars
I think this port Cover can help protect Tesla and other EV owners from getting dirt in their CCS Port or against vandalism like chewing gum while type 2 street charging.
Covering the CCS (Combined Charging System) port of an electric car is typically done for several reasons:
- Protection from Elements: A cover shields the port from rain, snow, dust, and debris, which can prevent corrosion, dirt buildup, or damage to the charging connector.
- Preventing Tampering or Vandalism: Covering the port reduces the risk of unauthorized access, such as someone unplugging the charger or damaging the port.
- Maintaining Efficiency: Keeping the port clean ensures a secure connection, avoiding issues like poor conductivity or charging interruptions due to dirt or moisture.
- Safety: It minimizes the risk of accidental contact with the charging pins, which could potentially be hazardous if exposed.
