Friends: 1 | The plug is weatherproof when not in use because of the rubber cover. Since I have no garage in which to park my Prius, my concern it how to have it be weatherproof when IN use. Obviously the license plate provides a fair amount of 'roof', maybe that is enough? (And I REALLY like the stealth of hiding it under the plate I like the idea of a weatherproof plug, the best I can do now is shove the connected plug ends inside the lower grill and hope I don't crack the plastic grates in the process at -20F.

Friends: 0 | Nice.. but I have to ask.. How many times have you forgotten to disconnect before driving away? Maybe you could add an ignition kill relay thats energized when plugged in. |
