New cars include prewired charger plug

[Emira Fan]

FYI, charging plug is now factory installed. Along with a Lotus branded charger. There are also velcro straps on the left side to secure the tire service bag, kinda hidden away.

Magma color looks great under 6000 k lights

That’s a new battery tender style

Is that correct? Can other confirm?

Thats the same one I got for my car. Was already installed too. Same with the tire thing.

Don’t think it’s new

That's actually how it's always been, at least for US-market Emiras. They come with a factory charger and the extra service stuff secured in the trunk. Part of the official PDI process is for the dealer to install the battery charger leads.

My car was delivered in April (CARB state) with all of this stuff. Later on, there was supposedly a shortage of the battery chargers, though, so I guess some people didn't get them initially.

Good eye. I wonder if the change over to the new style caused the supposed shortage.

Also, I'm pretty sure my service stuff secures on the right side of the trunk. OP says theirs is on the left, so I guess that may be a difference, too.

Anyone have a recommendation for a portable 'Power Station' that can fit in the trunk and power the trickle charger?

Jackery seems to be the best.
