Securing the portable charging cable on the Toyota Rav4 EV while charging.

After discovering the high cost to replace the portable charging cable that Toyota provides with each Rav4 EV, I decided to figure out a way to secure it. Toyota makes it super easy. All you need is a secure lock about the size of the one in the picture. The hole pictured is part of the welded frame underneath the back, driver's side of the vehicle. You route your cable though as pictured, lock and that's it. While someone could still unplug you, they couldn't take the cable itself without cutting it. My first thought was to simply put a lock through the tiny hole in the handle itself which would prevent someone from unplugging you but after having trouble finding a lock that would fit (and be somewhat strong), came up with this idea instead.
