What about another option: a Peltier sucking externally off the chiller or cabin evaporator, or other cooled component under the hood? If you can get enough watts off a cooled surface, delta would be easy, and efficiency would be up too. No moving parts, super compact and cheap, and if a clip on design, low installation cost as well. Maybe use heat pipes for connecting to the frunk from source.Wow! That cooler represents a considerable improvement in efficiency over what Peltier coolers could do 30 years ago. I guess that's to be expected. Yes, it only goes to 40 °F and yes, it uses a little more power than a comparable compressor type refrigerator/freezer but it is much less expensive and 40 °F should be adequate for most applications.
