I'm going on a weekend trip soon, and working on charging strategies. The hotel I'm staying in doesn't have on-premise charging, but they told me I could use an outside 110V outlet to charge.
So I'm taking two long heavy-duty extensions cords and the charger that Ford included with the car. But - and others have posted it here - someone could just steal it if you leave it in a public location unattended.
I had an idea - put the charger in the frunk, and run one end of the extension cord inside (knotted around something). I opened the frunk, put charger and cord inside, then closed the frunk one click. No stress on the gaskets, and I can't see anyway someone could open the frunk with the car locked.
Tested that the car locks and that car is charging.
