I am trying to game plan where to place my wall charger in my garage.
Long story short, I could:
- Install the charger right near where the chargeport on the car will be, but it will require a decent bit of conduit to get there.
- Install the charger right next to my panel, and then leave the charge cord hung up right next to where the chargeport will be (18' cable will reach easily). This skips unnecessary conduit runs. This essentially means the charger will never be plugged back into the wall charger when not in use, it will simply hang there near my car waiting to charge again.
Here is the main question: If I were to leave the charger hung on a hook, rather than sticking it back into the wall charger, is there anything I should be aware of that could cause an issue? Will updates still run as planned? Does software need the charger plugged back into the connector for any sort of metrics tracking?
