Park the other way round?
Let’s hope you get both chargers!
I might be tempted to purchase a very heavy-duty extension cord to solve this problem, but here's a cover on Amazon that works with a cable up to 1/2" thick. Is your charger cord thicker than that?
Was that the only surprise or are they going to make a separate phone call for each disappointing deletion to spread out the pain? Many would prefer to pay more than expected rather than to have features deleted from the car, so I hope this EVSE snafu is the only problem. Maybe you can ask for some free MINI socks. I received two free pair with my SE.
When my parents were paying for it, I used to go skiing at Mt. Tremblant, in Quebec. It gets cold around there! I'm glad you received the heated steering wheel.
Quickly looking I found something like this heavy duty cable ramp, maybe that's what would work.
Or back your SE in so the charge port is on the other side?
My Clipper Creek plug in charger L2 is plug in for 6 yers and 7 months after I talk to manufacture
Extension cords is not good idea for EV anyway not 10-15 ‘
It sounds like you're using 240 Volts. I don't know the regulations regarding wiring mounted on the wall of a garage, but if there is no other 240-Volt appliance using that wrong-side outlet, you could remove the outlet, wire in some 8-gauge cable (connected using something better than twist-on wire connectors) and terminate it with the 240-Volt outlet you removed (mounted in an outlet box attached to the wall). That would elminate one of the downsides (a second plug) to using an extension cord.Yeah, I did try that but my garage is pretty small. That is one of the main reasons I went with the SE as it was one of the smallest EV's out there. I can back in but it makes moving around the car even more of a challenge when it is in the garage.
The Level 2 Flexcharger cord is pretty beefy. I would estimate it is around 1" thick.
An extension cord is an idea as I could route it up and over the door frame and mount the EVSE on the other side of the door. I do worry about getting a good quality cord though. I would hate to get a cord with less than high quality connectors on it that results in issues later on.
I like your answer like you said I’m not electrician also but my house stand for 28 years I will go further hire electrician if panel have space for new breaker and relocate an outlet where you need to your convenience and forget extension cords for 240 volts and covers for 240volts cables This is your investment for long run not temporary solution.
If your charger is 32 amp what SE only takes your 40 amps breaker takes 8 AWG wire you can run up to 150 feet with 50 amp breaker for future cars 8AWG wire you can run 180 ‘but if you not comfortable with panels /electricity the best advice is do not touch a crab at ALL! Life is short .Temporary use 120volts outlet for charging your SE .Temporary if you use existing 240 volts outlet on wrong side in your garage wrap a cable with polyurethane insulation from Home Depot which is use to insulate copper pipes 1/2. 3/4” for $3 a piece and throw your cable over a roof of SE without scratches on a roof.That solution will be $12 investment .
……or put the charger handle in a shallow plastic box and slide it under the car?
