I personally wouldn't bother. I'm on the top of a hill and wide open to the elements and haven't had any problems with snow, ice, sideways rain etc. I just close the flap against the plug and it's fine.
I've been charging from the granny charger for a full year and never had any problems. I have an industrial extension cable from my utility building/garage at the back of the house all the way (30m) to the hedge at the front of the house. There's a double garden/waterproof socket on the end that...

Opened the app
Unlocked the car using DK
Pressed Keyless Start
