At Covercraft, we fully understand the need to cover the vehicle when not it is not in use, giving you a clean and ready to drive vehicle. This should not come at the sacrifice of your ability to charge modern vehicles and is exactly why we specially tailor these covers for your convenience and safety. There are a few different ways for electric vehicles to be covered, depending on how the EV is engineered.
How Covercraft Accommodates EV Vehicles:
- Charing Flap - Most EV vehicles
- Front Mesh Venting - When undercarriage is covered
- Wheel Mesh Venting - For Tesla models
- Contoured Fit: Each cover is perfectly made to fit
Most EV Vehicle & Hybrid Car Covers
The most common EV accommodation we make is the addition of a charging flap. This allows you to easily charge your EV vehicle without having to remove the cover to access your charge port. Each cover is custom tailored to your vehicle and you can be sure the flap will be where you need it.
Car Covers for EV's with Undercarriage Covered
Some electric cars have a sealed or enclosed undercarriage. This causes a problem if you try to charge a vehicle, as there are vent systems in the front of the vehicle. If our pattern team finds a EV has an undercarriage covered, we will include a front mesh grill into the cover. This allows the electric vehicle to safely vent when charging with the car cover fully installed. Common vehicles include Chevrolet Bolt, Ford Mustang Mache-E, and even some Tesla models.
TESLA
Tesla's are an unique EV design and require additional venting at the front wheels. For Tesla vehicles, we will not only add the charging flaps, front grille vent, but will also add a vent at the wheels.
Are All Car Covers Compatible for EV Charging?
Almost all of our covers are specially patterned to allow for the needed charging and venting with electric vehicles. However, our most luxurious indoor FormFit Car Cover does not yet support this. Our design team and engineers are working on a solution to allow for charging - so just hang tight!
