Has anyone figured out a smart way of storing the charging cable (bag, organizer, etc.)? Mine takes all the space in the trunk and since it is dangling all over the place it gets in my way.

Furthermore, I'm planning to invest in a new charging cable which is coiled (like the image below). Since the current one is lying on the ground while charging, it is collecting all the dirt laying on the road. You might say "hey that is what is should be" but why not go the extra mile if there is a solution. From what I'm seeing these coiled cables just strech between the car and the charging post so they don't even touch anything. Anybody has any experience with these coiled cables? Perhaps someone knows a reliable brand to buy them from.

I can send a photo, but the granny charger cable fits under the boot floor. I keep the 32A cable in the Honda bag supplied

That would be great. Yes my granny cable rests under the booth floor but since my car is 2nd hand, I didn't get any Honda bag :)

Or you could consider one of these:

There are a couple of photos somewhere on this forum site showing the under bootfloor storage and how it has been utilised by a couple of people.

Have seen the coiled cable today in action. Looks neat to me.

while considering coiled / thinner cable, ensure this will work for Honda e where the AC charging happens on 1 PIN only.
I do suspect the thicker cable provided with the car comes from that limitation.

Thanks,

This is not even half bad. Might be even a better fix since it is 30 € instead of 300 € for the cable. Thanks!

I see now, thanks. Sure with the Honda bag it looks much better. I'll probably go for a box or something that I can drop the cable straight in without folding/unfolding.
