Don't let this happen to you: The car next to me was not charging, the supercharger would not insert into his charge port properly. Between the two of us we determined there was something stuck in the supercharger cable end. I shook it and a small piece of round plastic fell out. It is the plastic broken from a charge port. He came to the conclusion that it probably came from the car that would not charge at the next nearest supercharger he was just at, where the owner drove down to zero range could not charge and had to be towed away to get fixed. And the nearest service centre is 350 km away in Vancouver.
Not sure it this is a case of plastic getting old and brittle, I would wager this is probably the case of owners not inserting the charge cables in straight and true, and instead wiggling it while exiting it. Or perhaps someone tripped/pulled on the cord while it was connected to the car which caused it to break?
Careful people: insert the cable straight in and pull straight out; no wiggling or this could be you.
