Usually the driver plugs in is probably why

It would be annoying to walk around every time

Not to mention how much harder to reach out the (driver's) window to shut the charge port door (Bolt EV) when you drive away with it open lol

hehe as I bolt owner I'm now trained to listen for the beeps. I had an eGolf with the port on the rear passenger side and it seemed far less annoying than front driver side... I guess because stepping back to close driver door then forward seems more awkward than just continuing back and around. This is more so when getting back in the car to chill while DCFC charging.
