A kayaking dry bag is large enough for both the tire inflator and occasional use EVSE and will keep both completely clean and dry!

I agree with DarrenG. The official name is BMW i Board Bag. It fits the space precisely, has interior dividers sized to hold the L1 charger and tire kit, and rolls closed with a secure velcro closure to keep out water. Biggest criticism is that it's overpriced in the US but I found it for a significant discount by doing a little digging. That was over a year ago and the BMW parts retailer I bought from has raised its price. Still with knowledge that not all BMW outlets charge the same prices, you might find an acceptable deal.

Indeed, I baulked at the list price but found a dealer selling via Amazon here in the UK and got it for near half the list price which is closer to what it's worth IMHO.
 
Looks like in the UK, the Board Bag is £45. It says it protects against spray but the pictures don't show a cover. How does it seal?
 
The BMW bag closes by folding over the top of it and securing with a velcro strap.

I've tried two different bags, and previously provided more detail here: http://www.mybmwi3.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=22017#p22017
 
The BMW i bag does fit perfectly. It's probably not inexpensive, though. I got mine for free as a perk for getting an Electronaut Edition i3 so I don't know how much they are.

i've used mine in some pretty wet conditions and regular jet washes, i've never found any water or damp in there? am I just lucky?
