    Won't reach. It just barely has enough cord to be able to mount it next to the outlet if there was a spot. I'm seriously considering cutting that infernal CATV cable and getting rid of it and that poly pipe. I don't have cable TV or internet and don't plan on it.

    So you'll be removing the cord when inclement weather approaches?

    If so, why even mount it to the wall:whistle:?

    One less hole in the wall(y).

    No. It's not exposed to the weather where it is. The right side could occasionally get some small spray if there's blowing rain, but nothing from overhead.

    California Electrical Code doesn't have any height requirement that I can find.

    Just finished moving my charging station.Got tired of having to back into my garage to charge our Prime so I moved the station to the side wall.I had previously debadged the car so I had all the badges.I have attached photos what do you think.(yes I am retired and have lots of time on my hands to do these things)

    The Prime charger has two holes - both on one end. Just get a drill bit designed for drilling into the brick and you will be good.
