After rain or washing it is a good idea to drag the brakes a bit before parking to heat them up to avoid this problem.

All my previous Vettes were stick and I did use the E Brake on them when parking, I have not even attempted to use it with my 15.

First just semantics, it's not an emergency brake but an Electric Parking Brake. Second the Owner's Manuel is your friend, Pg. 9-35 / 9-36 in the 2015 Manuel "The vehicle may automatically apply the EPB in some situations when the vehicle is not moving. This is normal, and is done to periodically check the correct operation of the EPB system." I believe this carries through MY's of the C7 but may be different pages of the OM.
