Charging studs under front service panel

I installed Charging studs under front service panel . I will get some photos soon. Ran the wire 6 awg through the knock out next to the battery to the front.

No more pulling up the interior to get to the battery terminals for me

Would love to see the photos..
I want something like that.. or even a high current connector of some sort.
I usually keep a fairly hefty power inverter with me in the car.. to run small tools or an air compressor.. in other cars I had simple access to the battery.. but the smart .. not so much..
I did install a high current cig lighter style plug in the passenger footwell.. but those are not real good at 40+ amps... and the "fork lift connector" type that I sometimes see sticking out of the front bumpers of police cars (used for giving jump starts) it too big...

I'm not familiar with these, but shouldn't they be a bit farther apart? They seem somewhat too close, but maybe it's just me and it's tough to view the scale from the picture.
