You could buy some grommets and drill a hole in the bulk head just for that wire as long as you use some form of sealant to seal it from water getting to car

If it was me i would do it under the battery tray as it's out the way and less chance of water leaking in . If you can do it by battery tray and it won'tlook a mess then go for it
