EV charger - cable management system?

[NMflyfish]

Good morning

Anyone have a cable management system (CMS) installed?

Something like this: https://shop.emporiaenergy.com/products/emporia-ev-charger-rectractor-mounting-kit

Thanks, Andy

Do you already have a charger?

Yes - I have the Rivian charger. I'm actually checking if anyone has used a wall mount CMS that I may need for a new project I'm working on....

I got this one (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D4X66VBS?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_4) mounted above my split garage doors to swap between my and my wife's car. Only issue is one of the bolts sheared when installing. Feels solid, has a pull that is slightly more than the weight of the cable (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BDLQMR51?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_17&th=1).

Takes a bit to find the right balance between mounting height and where to locate the clamp for the cable to get it to work the way you want but I like how it came out.

How does a cable reel fix having to replace a cooling system?

I have one of these, which works really well for me.

I went a similar route with this setup.

Hold the connector off the floor and the cable loops over the top. Works like a champ. They sell them separate from the bracket to hold the mobile charger if you don't need/want that part.

McMaster is usually on the high end for cost, but they sell good stuff. Get yourself a tool balancer. Mount it to a wall or hang, either works.

Thanks all for the input. This is for a commercial application so I'm looking for a CMS that removes as much of the client "laziness" as possible (if personal the simple garden hose reel noted would be fine)....
