Frunk (Front Trunk)
A frunk is a storage compartment under the bonnet of an electric car.
What is Frunk (Front Trunk)?
It exists because there is no engine. Size varies. It often holds cables. Some frunks are large enough for luggage, while others only hold the charging cable. Many have a drain for water and a safety release inside. Weight limits are given in the owner's manual, and the bonnet must be closed fully to avoid it opening while driving.
How it works
Space freed by the electric drive is used for storage.
Why it matters for your car
Check load limits. Close it carefully.
