    I'm curious about water and the external "guest" plug. I am actually more worried about the EBH plug in front.
    Thanks

    It would be awfully stupid to design and build a plugin that couldn't stand getting wet. And probably illegal to sell one.

    I have a few times but only in a touchless car wash. I have inspected the plug after each wash and there was no water inside.

    There should be no power to either the PHEV plug or EBH plug when the car is out driving around, so there should be no reason for concern.

    I just make sure my ebh is pushed into the grill where it seats.
