Winter may still happen in 2020, so in order to sill be a lazy person and avoid digging out snow from the chargeport if winter comes, I went to my local dealer and purchased a chargeport hood. (2.078,70 NOK / 195.79 EUR / 177.17 GBP)

It's surprisingly soft and easily foldable (folds flat), comes with a satchel/bag to keep it in and a multilingual manual.
Feels like some sort of vinyl fabric, could probably be easily made DIY if you have the dimensions, skill and fabric.

(Officially called "Port Lid Cover" Partnumber 08P35-TYF-600, Made in Italy)

How it fits my car. (Regrettable image quality, my apologies (night time, long exposure))

How easily is it to steal? I have very little faith in the people that live where I live. Too many wing mirrors damaged or stolen.

Very easy

However, the Honda E is rare, and expensive,the cover only fits the Honda.

It cost how much? :o If it cost about 6% of that amount I might consider buying one, but that is a ridiculous amount of money for something that shouldn't cost much more than a shopping bag. :!:

I think I'd rather use a cardboard box!

Hmmm I was considering having this - is it at least secure even in the very strong wind???

Not great in the wet, however I can get the measurements if you want to try another material.

The back and sides go right down into the hole, and there is very strong velcro on the part surrounding the cable. I can't see a monsoon blowing it off!
I think it's very well made, and considering the limited market and associated logistics to design, manufacture and distribute, I think it's not unreasonably priced. I paid GBP 89.25 for mine.
