Hello fellow iMiEV owners, I did a quick video showing how I installed a neoprene cover to my J1772 plug.

I initially bought a plastic pistol type holder, but I didn't feel like drilling the concrete wall to install it, so I purchase a simple neoprene cover and installed it to my J1772 plug using a Velcro strip.

A simple and elegant way of adding a cover to the plug end.

Enjoy,
Brian

Nicely done
Is this installation outside or in a garage/ carpost sheltered from the elements.
If it's outside and left hanging like that, there is the possibility that rain or melting snow can run down the pistol and work it's way in between the cover.
(Laws of gravity) don't want to sound negative , just being cautious.
 
Hello Sandange, i can't let you guys have all the fun making videos. ;)

Our little ( i ) is kept under the carport.

We had the same concerns before seeing the plug cover in person.

The fit is quite snug, and it's about 3/4 of an inch deep.

It would take multiple monsoons style rain storms or a silly kid throwing snowballs directly on the pistol plug to get anything in there, and even then i would't think water or snow would get in.

Thanks for watching,
Brian
