For a while now I've been looking for the perfect (and cheap) storage container to use as a dry box for the OEM EVSE and it's plugs. I've thought long and hard about the specialty boxes designed specifically for keeping outdoor electrical connections dry (Sockit Box), but the cheapest I've seen the large of these advertised was around $30 (at Home Depot).
This storage box from Creative Options was just $11, plus I had a 40% off one item coupon from the Michael's website, so the total was just $7 with tax (but even $11 wouldn't have been horrible). Colors are a little girly, if I have to be honest, and you do have to cut a couple of notches in the plastic base for the cords, but notice how this box has a lovely lip on the lid; snap-shut latches; and how you can tuck the electrical cords up into the handle area of the base, ensuring that no water can trickle back down the electrical cord and fill the box.
