I always thought it'd be awesome to put a NEMA 5-15 cord reel with a
12AWG cord under the front license plate.  With the Charger up front,
and if you have room... you could.

By the way... here is a source for L6-30 extension cords... at $20 for
an 8 foot L6-30 cord with 2 plugs... it's cheaper to buy the premade
cord and cut it up to make pigtails for adapters than to spend the $30
per plug at home depot.

I actually saw an IEC_60309 in front of a doctor's office I was at the
other day.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60309  That is not a plug
that I have an adapter for.  :-/
