I've experienced it with both types.

Try holding the plug close to the front (hand around the shoulder of the plug rather than at the cable end) and holding it up to counteract the weight of the cable when inserting. This seems to help, I've found.

That page appears to no longer be available - is it available somewhere else, please?

Thank you, @mevvi1 - I have ordered one.

Another door closes. Dan from CarMats.co.uk replied "Unfortunately we don't currently offer boot liner just boot mats."

I emailed Car Mats UK (carmats-uk.com) and CarMats UK (CarMats.co.uk) and so far have received a reply from Amy at Car Mats UK. Unfortunately their advertised liner will not fit the hybrid version. They would need the vehicle for a full 8 hours in their factory in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire to...

Thanks - I will try that, too.
