Since many connectors are criticized for being made of very cheap plastics, the addition of such protection should be a welcome addition. Do you really need it, though? That’s the question. The simple answer is no. You don’t really need it because as long as you store the connector as recommended by the manufacturer of the charging station, you shouldn’t encounter any problems. The interior has a huge amount of protective technology designed to detect any sign of water ingress. In the unlikely event that water was able to get into the system, the cars will typically shut down the charging process, and it will be safe to remove the connector and close up the port again if needed. These are simply made from synthetic cloth materials, which while durable and waterproof do not offer much of a solution to the more serious wintry problems that we described above. This is why those facing heavy snow and ice would more likely go for the full port cover idea.

The units themselves undergo a very strict regimen of testing to ensure that they can last in any weather. The testing itself typically goes on in OSHA-certified laboratories, meaning they conform to federally mandated safety standards. They also have to meet standards set by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE).
