Mobile charging socket is as simple as buying the "cigarette lighter charger" used in cars, and install it on the bike.

For the cooler here's the story -

For our 45 day long trip, I was interested in somehow getting cool water while on the move. If you would know, the cars have cool storage and coolers. These works on thermoelectric cooling.

The Heatsink Guide - Peltier cooler information

I had bought a Peltier cooler for 1200 bucks. Sandwiched between two heatsinks, with a exhaust fan on the heating side, installed at the base of Plastic Bottle. Covered it with a layer of thermocol, with a wire net covering the bottle, transferring the cold from the heat sinks to the whole bottle.

Although it worked, but was not cooling the bottle enough, Lack of time made me leave the project!
