I see all these nicely organized garages that have EVSE level 1 or 2 chargers with 15 and 25 foot charging cords hanging on (wrapped around) hooks. There must be a better way.
I currently reach up and grab the J1772 plug hanging above my Volt's charging port on a hook attached to the garage ceiling, and pull it down a few feet to plug in the Volt. This is the simplest way to recharge - very convenient.
But when the car is parked outside the garage, I would like to pull the cord out to the car and plug it in without having to grab 20 feet of wire off the hook and unwind it to reach the charging port. When finished charging, I would like the cord to be wound up on a spring-loaded spool instead of have to wind it up myself and hang it back in the garage.
Anyone know of a spooling device that would allow me to avoid all this fooling around with charging cables?
