To charge, you have to (i) push to open the flap, (ii) remove plastic protective caps from socket, and (iii) plug in. Finishing charging is the reverse - except that (ii) can be a bit fiddly.
I'm wondering just how necessary stage (ii) actually is. Could I remove the caps and turn the operation into a much quicker and "one handed" job?
Presumably, the caps protect against crud entering the socket during driving. However, the flap seems reasonable protection in its own right. Then again, who am I to second guess teams of Bavarian engineers? Maybe the caps provide essential protection. Anyone know what the arrangement is on other EVs?
