I used to have a similar issue, my solution was to put some hockey pucks to the left and right of the cable, so that it wouldn't get pinched by the door and the seal. Experienced no damage to the door or the cable, but I made sure to bring it in after every charging session.

I have an Emporia mounted between my garage doors inside. I installed a new thicker bottom seal and cut/notched out the seal where the cable lays under the door. Then I put a cable protector over the charging cable. This protects it and at least helps spread out the pressure on the cable, but it protects it from abrasions from the concrete driveway as well. Only downside with the protector is it makes the cable more rigid and a little harder to hang back up when not in use. It doesn’t appear to be pinching at all with the door closed on it. I recommend the cable protector anyway if you are laying it across the rough concrete.

plus the extra tall weather strip they recommend. I have been operating flawlessly for well over a year.
Undor is a cool product but obviously only works if your driveway and garage floor are the same height (level). I wish mine was.

You know, I had never truly appreciated the skill of the concrete guys that built my house until I saw this remark!
