I just run my power cable through the ceiling-mounted support for the garage door opener and a ceiling-mounted storage rack.

Calling it "cable management" would be too generous.

I have two Emporia EV Chargers one on each side of the garage and their EV Charger Cable Retractor on the wall above them close to the ceiling. Been using them for over 3 years and have worked very well. This type of cable retractor might not work in all garages depending on your configuration but works great for me. Mainly wanted something to keep the cords from touching the floor without having to wrap them up around something. Extending and retracting the cord is fast and easy.

What? You mean I can move it overhead without buying something new? Genius!

My L2 cable supplies both my wife's EV6 (shown) and my Mach E. When not in use, it attaches to the wall in front of and between the cars with 6-7 feet of clearance under it. Only parts needed were a rubber bungee cord and velcro strap.

NOTE: With the overhead cable set up WR221 has, the Nema 14-50 wall plug has to be wired 180° from the normal so the cable extends upwards maximizing cable length. An electrician would normally wire the plug-in so the cord would hang straight down if not told to do otherwise. Nice set up.
