About us
Ma capuche ?
A Quebec company founded in December 2018, born from a problem every electric car owner knows all too well in winter.
I'm Guillaume Allard, founder of macapuche.com. I had just become the owner of a Tesla Model 3. During my first Quebec winter, I ran into trouble with the charging plug: it kept getting stuck in the car because of ice freezing inside the charging port.
To fix the problem, I came up with a new concept: a protective cover that shields the charging port from the weather and attaches firmly without effort.
"I started sketching and bought my first sewing machine!"
