I have had our new 2017 Volt for a few weeks in a VERY snowy part of Ontario and have had the plug
port iced up such that it would not open. I pushed a credit card like piece of plastic into and around the edge of
the cover to get it to open. I figured it was ice from snow getting in from when the car is plugged in outside.
We have only a one car garage and our other vehicle, a Tesla Model S, is usually inside. I really am impressed with our new Volt overall, but I was wondering if anyone has devised a way to keep snow out of the open charging port. I know it seems a bit ridiculous but I have been leaning a broom over the port to keep the snow off. The Tesla port is much smaller and does not seem to be as prone to the icing up as the Volt with its large port door.
