PIP Charging Cable

Sometimes I use a 24 inch extension cord. or the set up in the pic. shown here

 

Small #8 ell hook put into wall just below the outlet.

oh my god that looks scary…

anyway, when i charge at home, the outlet is in the laundry room, and next to the washing machine, so the brick rests on the washing machine. when i plug somewhere outside, i do try to make sure that the brick rests on something, even if it means contorting the charge cable weirdly when it comes out of the outlet.

 

it DOES doesn't it. I don't have that setup all the time and I come outside frequently to check on it when I do use that setup.

 

The charging cable's brick has a hole in one corner. Loop a Ziptie or a wire loop through it and then you can hang the heavy brick from whatever is handy nearby.

 

There's no catagory for my situation, which is uses an extension cord to reach the car, so PIP cable is always on the ground.

 

I'm plugging in right next to my workbench, so I hang the brick on the pegboard.

 

If, I must charge outside using a extension, the I put a small piece of rug over the junction at the eXtension plug, in the rain.

 

Isn't that like an electrical fire waiting to happen?

 

If the brick is outside, like at work, I unplug the extension first. I've never covered the brick.

 

More like a lightning bolt hitting me.

 

I changed the Plug of my Cable to a Right-Angle Plug, so the weight of the brick doesn't pull the plug out.

 

I use a rubber-coated hook designed for hanging bikes from the garage rafters or ceiling. One of the larger ones holds the coiled cable and the connector just fine. I used to have photos on here, but can't seem to find them now.

Maybe this link will work?

 

At work I use a small stretch bungee looped to itself, that then hangs of the outlet in the underground garage I park at, I'll update with a picture

 

Came on a giant pack of them at Costco or BJs, can't remember I've had them so long
