For the gizmo that you're talking about above, the AC/DC conversion has to go on in the car.
And I agree that would be a great thing to have. As above, if I go to VT for a weekend of bike riding, and can let the car sit on a trickle charge for 3 days straight at an AIRBNB or similar, it's a good option to have.
