I didn't know you ran an alternator delete? Why the onboard charger?

I do not have a block heater, yet. I'm hoping to get one in before winter though! Last winter I froze my butt of. The driving efficient thing is great, but really increases warm up time! I'm still searching for which one(s) to get. I want to go with as powerful of a heater as I can find for quick and efficient warm up times.

It seems like new commercial plug in cars have the charging port by the driver's door, so you can't help but notice it as you get in, and to save you a few paces every morning.
Thats a good idea, but I'd have to cut into metal body panels...


Now looking at it, it would be pretty cool if the Toyota emblem flipped up and out or something, and the plug was behind it.
