Reply to comment by crunchybaguette in How does everyone feel about folks charging their electric vehicle with the power cord on the sidewalk? I want an EV but also want to be a considerate neighbor. Pic is not JC, just an example I found online. by peastu

Regardless. The cable should be encased, pretty sure the insulation on that cable won't be rated for people to walk on lol

Normally wouldn’t be but that could be mitigated with a proper ramp to protect

The permanent parts of this are armored.

The black cable and charger are just hanging. That’s likely stored in their trunk when not in use. That’s acceptable on a temporary basis. You just can’t permanently mount it like that.

They also technically protected on the sidewalk where it’s prone to damage.

This might violate local ordinances, but seems to have been done safely. That outlet looks like it might have been done by a pro too. I suspect that locks, so when not in use nobody can access the outlet.
