EV Charger Retractable Cable Management System

[Rayden]

Curious to see what you guys have done to manage the charging cable. My EVSE (Grizzl-E Ultimate 48) is near the front of my garage, on the side wall. The truck always gets charged in the driveway. Coiling the cable up over the included cable rack/nozzle dock is a hassle I'd prefer to eliminate. I was thinking of one of those retractable reels like you see on some of the DCFC's. There seem to be a lot out there with mixed reviews. Anyone done something they're really happy with?

My charger is between two garage doors on the wall. I lay my cable on the floor joint of the concrete and cover with these:

Retractable cables probably won't fly, or they would be extremely expensive given the amperage rating and really hard to certify. I also have mine installed between the garage doors. I can pull it out to the driveway or charge in the garage. I installed a few simple hangers to hang the cord in the garage so it isn't on the floor.

I suppose I should've been a little clearer on what I meant.

I use this one between the garage bays and hang it up on the ceiling rafters. It works good, way better than laying the cord on the ground. The key was to have it retract without putting to much weight on the plug while plugged in. Took a little to get it just right but it's been up for over a year without issue.
