Window area to cover: 124.5cm x 52cm

Currently, when charging my electric car, I need to run a 20 metre extension cable from the bedroom window to the driveway. Not ideal, but will do for now, until we've got a new house built in (hopefully) 12 months time.
Here's the issue. Winter is coming!
It will be pretty cold having the window open at night time (when I typically will be charging the car).
How would you solve this issue?
I was thinking of a cut out (maybe plywood) cut to fit, with a small hole for the power cord down the bottom.
This would ensure no draft.
And on a sunny winters day, I can still have the window open and also remove the cut out. When I'm not charging the car (I only charge it a couple of times per week), I don't need the cut out there.

Any suggestions are much appreciated.

And no, I don't want to put the cable underground, as this is a temporary solution.
