Methods, devices, and systems are described for charge port defrosters. The system includes a charge port integrated into a vehicle and configured to power the vehicle, a charge port cover coupled to the hinge and configured to cover the charge port, a heating element located proximate to the charge port and the charge port cover, and a controller. The controller is configured to determine whether the vehicle is in an environment capable of satisfying a temperature threshold. The temperature threshold is indicative of cold weather conditions. The controller is configured to operate the heating element to be powered in response to determining the vehicle is in the environment capable of satisfying the temperature threshold.
