Just saw a video on youtube demoing this product. Looks interesting as I might want/need something like this depending on the final spot of my 240V plug.
I'm not affaliated nor have I bought the product...just looks like a great solution.

I made a similar thing using a length of copper pipe with a T on the end, a bolt through the T into a bracket I bent out of some Home Depot flat bar to make a hinge, worked well for keeping the cord off the floor. Charging handle sticks out a long way, but no rack will change that.

This one's def more skookum, but if you've a mind to you can enginerd one yourself, too. I'm trying to figure out how to charge two drivers sides using a single charger, swapping the plug between the cars without being able to walk all the way around either car. I didn't think I could make an arm long enough, but looking at this one, maybe I can.

My plan is to hang the cable from ceiling by bike hooks and a tool balancer. Tool balancer is spring loaded so brings connector back to ceiling after use. My car arrives next week so will see how it works. Saw some others with this set up - not my idea. Funny thing is when I looked at the balancer on Amazon had a option where it was paired with a cable clamp!
