Ordered a Marinco inlet plug to increase the safety of my on board grid wiring. Currently I'm using an inherently unsafe solution that's documented in an earlier post. (Post #30)

Installing this will leave me with a clean flush mount weatherproof place to plug the car in. I've wanted to purchase this for some time and have finally saved up for it. I think it's especially important as I'm no longer the primary driver of the car for the time being and Autumn began yesterday, time to begin plugging in regularily, and safely.

I had looked at a Genius charge port for a while, but noted it was only rated for 13 amps and though UL listed, it was not CSA approved like the Marinco unit. Costs more but I do push the limits with my setup so safety again.

Those are the only two I see on the market for 120V.
