Friends: 22 | Re: Has anyone taken their Plugin through an automatic car wash 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. |

Friends: 4 | Re: Has anyone taken their Plugin through an automatic car wash 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. |
