A vehicular charge port closure system includes a cover panel disposed at a vehicle. The cover panel is movable between a closed position, where the cover panel conceals a charge port of the vehicle, and an opened position, where the cover panel is positioned to allow access to a charging connector of the charge port. A deployment mechanism is operable to move the cover panel between the closed and opened positions. An ice breaking mechanism is disposed at the cover panel and, when ice is present at the peripheral edge of the cover panel, the ice breaking mechanism is operable to break the ice from the peripheral edge of the cover panel so that the cover panel is movable from the closed position toward the opened position.
