Who else wishes there was an MG ZS EV aftermarket drop-in frunk for cable storage?

I only ever need my cable when on long trips and the boot is full of luggage. See my advert for my frunk now I've sold my ZS.

Nope, too much hassle involved in opening the bonnet. Faster accessing the boot...
Once you have a tethered home charger you rarely use the cable anyway!

Well, you can get gas struts for the bonnet, in that case it would only require minimum effort to release the latch and lift slightly to make the struts extend by themselves.

Would be nice with an electromechanical release as well, like for example Tesla has, but even on the Tesla you would have to open up the bonnet yourself, unless you buy and install a rather expensive motorised frunk strut.

That's all starting to get a bit unnecessarily complicated to me. Does the cable, really take up that much room, in the boot. And takes literally seconds to get in and out.

Unless the boot is packed to the gunnels with cases etc for a holiday

Although surely if somebody has the boot packed to the gunnels, and they're going to need the charging cable, they would make sure it's accessible, for example, in the frunk if they had one.

Or just pack the cable, last in the boot, so it's accessible. I'm pretty sure you could squeeze that in, no matter how packed the boot is. Don't get me wrong anyone who particularly wants a "frunk"
Then get one, just not for me.

No, the only reason i can see for having it in the frunk (And hence, where we have it right now) is if you are on holiday or for some reason have the boot full of stuff.

Not that i have used the cable even once on this trip, we charged at SuC's all the way to the destination and then there is a "SuC" at a Lidl that is close by here, so we just charge when we are there shopping.

Our MG ZS EV is always charged at home, we have had it for about 6 months now and we have never charged it anywhere else, but home.
