Late in the 2021 winter season we bought a cheap charge port cover from Amazon. I don't remember the brand, but it was ineffective and we tossed it at the end of winter.
We spent the next several months researching a better cover. We bought the product linked at the end of this review. It arrived just in time for a near-record winter snowfall season (163 inches to-date).
The cover is a nearly flat, heavy fabric with Velcro attachments at the right places so it's nicely adjustable. The top of the cover has a long Velcro strap that loops around the wiper motor stem. The cable-side of the cover is also adjustable with Velcro.
There's a nice, wide flap of material the lays across the top of the fender and extends a bit over the hood. When we get heavy snow loads, this helps hold the cover in place.
The underside material is soft and has not damaged our paint. The top material is waterproof. The combination remains flexible down to at least -10 ⁰F (the lowest temperature we had while removing the cover; the cover was in place when the temperature dropped to -15 ⁰C or lower), even while wet.
The cover never frozen to the car.
The snow load that can be held by the cover is at least a foot of moderately wet, melted, and re-frozen snow.
It held up to ~60-80 mph wind gusts (though the wind was blowing from the passenger side of the car).
Would recommend.
