So my apartment complex has 240v charger available for use, I left the Spark EV plugged in outside during the new years on vacation abroad for 2 weeks and during the 2 weeks a ice rain storm came in for a good 2 months. I come back and the charger is frozen solid but still working and 1/4" thick sheet of ice all over my car.

Charger still works!! Doors were frozen shut pretty tight didnt want to break the handle so waited for the sun to come up the next day to start de-icing.

Where the heck is this? North pole?

I haven't seen snow or ice in 10 years. I can't imagine temperature below 40F. ;-)
 
Anybody else wondering about the ethics of parking at a non-personal charge station for two unattended weeks?
I'm hoping there are two charge cords at that station and OP never sees anybody else using them.

This is bad EV etiquette. Not cool. :(
