How high up do I need the outdoor outlet so the brick stays off the ground ?

We still have a while to wait on delivery of our 2020 Prime XLE, in the meantime I was getting materials needed to have an outdoor outlet installed out front on the side of a 4x4 wood post at the end of a ramp which will give us an outlet about 20 feet from where the car will be parked.

The wood post I want to attach the outdoor outlet to is a total of 41 inches high from the ground to the top of the railing. I plan on using a hook to hang the brick underneath where the cord comes out but need to know the minimum distance the outlet needs to be off the ground in order to keep the brick off the ground when hanging under the outlet.

The outlet will be a 120v 15a outdoor rated outlet with ground fault protection.

Here is the outdoor outlet cover I will have over the outlet -

 

Thanks, with 41 inches to work with (minus the size of the outlet itself) I should not have any problem allowing at least 2 feet clearance below the bottom of the outlet, and yes I do plan on having a hook to hang the brick from,

Thanks, but I want to be ready to charge it up as soon as we get it home as likely it won't have much charge on it when we pick it up from the dealer after it arrives.

I am going to install the outlet and 25 foot of conduit going to a conduit box near the outside wall of our house, then have an electrician run a connection from the conduit box going thru the outside wall to tie into an indoor outlet near that spot, (my wife is not keen on me doing that part ) at least with me having the other part done should reduce the labor cost, the thing is that it might possibly take a few weeks for our local electrician to be available as he is good at his job and stays busy)

 

Thanks, I could park as close as about 18 feet away if we needed to, so I figure with 25 foot charging cable it should be okay.

 

Thanks, the idea had crossed my mind before, and I MIGHT consider it at a later date, but it would be extremely rare we'd have a need to recharge that fast, so don't think the extra expense would justify it for us. If we did change our mind at a later date we have a 220v outlet in the house used for an electric dryer, and I've read of people using a "Y" adapter and a heavy duty extension cord meant for 220v, but I think for us the 120v option will be enough.

I also like the idea of having the 120v outside outlet for when I'd want to use a vacuum cleaner for our vehicles, or times when I might need to use power tools outside and no longer need to run a long extension cord from inside the house.

 

Good ideas, thanks, adding the hooks won't take long so no problem waiting till we get the car to do that part.
