I am installing an onboard battery charger. My question is, where do you route the power cord to exit the car?

Editing my answer because I misunderstood your question. You want a charger to stay on-board the vehicle? I use a tender type of charger, but it stays outside of the vehicle. I have my cord (pigtail) hard wired to the battery and located in the passenger side corner where the windshield meets the hood. It is easy to access, close to the battery and tucks away nicely. I will mention that care needs to be taken to insure that the wiring doesn’t get caught in and pinched in the hood hinge. Out of town right now and can’t post a picture, but can post one later if desired. I hope this helps and this routing may work for your power cord.

Jump to six minutes on this video. Exactly what C.Hudson said, you put the pigtail on the battery when you need to charge you can fish it out near the windshield wipers on the passenger side / right side (assuming you have a left hand drive car).

By the way, Porsche uses C-Tek chargers/tenders that they rebrand and markup 50%
