Trying to find an overhead retractable cable that I can use for my EV charger cord.

Currently the charging cord for my EV is lying on the ground across the main walkway in my garage; on the opposite end of the plug. It ends up getting stepped on and whenever it needs to be plugged/unplugged we need to walk it back to the wall. I'm looking for a way to support the cable overhead that allows me to pull it down to charge, then retracts back up when unplugged. Something similar to a gas station pump that has the extending cable overhead, or maybe like a cord reel. I'm having a hard time finding something like this, either because they dont exist or I'm just using the wrong keyword. Help! submitted by /u/Baconsnake [link] [comments]
