Electric port cap

It happens, but the best way is to try to do the same motions every time you unplug. It will eventually become natural with out thinking about it.

 

When I first started doing this I got in trouble when I would break my routine... more times than leaving the door open this is how I came out to see the car was not plugged in and charging. Just make it your routine to plug the car in right after getting out and closing the cap as part of the routine. Like Fat Fusion, I unplug and close the door before I put the plug in the back into the charger. (Would have been nice to have an idiot light for this.)

Never forgot to plug it in, but I have the port. The first time, I had 2 cars rode down their window to tell me that it was open. The last time, I drove 2 blocks and then I remembered, so I pulled off the road and closed it. One would have thought someone would have added a warning light, just like the one for the fuel door...

 

Oh and you can add a reminder about charging it on the MFM :)

Does anyone get the feeling like you just found out your zipper is down? 

ha!  I saw the reflection of my car while sitting in traffic with the port open, so I rolled down the window and popped it shut from the drivers seat.  Like a zipper, it was awkward to address the situation, but in my mind, more embarrassing to be seen driving with the fly open.

 

Kind of like having toilet paper stuck to the back wheel!

Same here. I was CONVINCED that there was a bug in the door as I kept finding it open the first 3 months. Then I formed a habit of unhook right hand and with it still in my hand close with left (opposite putting it in) and like magic it stopped happening. I blame Ford. LOL

 

Seriously I do wish we had a door like the Volt, I'm worried in a few years the cleaver spin system will break/wear down. I charge twice a day...
