Hey everyone! I just recently took delivery of a beautiful new Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring, and I’m absolutely loving the whisper-quiet electric mode for my daily commute. However, as a first-time PHEV owner, I’m quickly realizing that my garage setup is a bit lacking. Currently, I’m just using the standard Level 1 mobile cord that came with the car, but it takes quite a while to get back to a full charge overnight.

I’m looking to upgrade my charging game and wondering what accessories you all consider essential. Are most of you installing a dedicated Level 2 home station, or is that overkill for a 14.4 kWh battery? I’ve been looking at the ChargePoint Home Flex, but I’m curious if there are more budget-friendly options that still work seamlessly with the Lincoln Way app notifications.

Beyond the home setup, what do you carry in the trunk? I’m thinking about picking up a J1772 extension cable for those awkward public spots or maybe a high-quality cable organizer to keep the cargo area tidy. Also, has anyone found a specific weather-resistant cover for the charging port that actually fits the Corsair well during rainy or snowy days?

What are the absolute must-have charging accessories you’d recommend to a new owner to make the plug-in life easier? Looking forward to your suggestions!
