To connect the MINI E to the wallbox or a public charging station, you have to use a special charging cord. Contrary to the United States where the charging cord is a permanentely fixed part of the charging station, in Europe the charging cord is a separate item. The cord is specified to deal with voltages up to 500V and currents up to 63A. So you can imagine this is not a regular electric cable known from electric devices used in a common household, but it is a heavy and stiff electric line. On top this cord may be wet and dirty depending on the weather and the environment of a public charging station.
If you want to use a public charging station or just a common wall socket (via an additional adapter), you'll have to carry the cord with you in the car.
I was looking for a suitable bag for this cord and choosed a 14x6,5 " snare drum bag from GEWA. I added some hooks from the building center and connected them to the handle of the bag.
The bag is a bit bulky and maybe a bag for a smaller snare drum would have fit a little bit better, but I think its a useful and fine solution for the storage of the charging cord.
