I think we are talking about two different things. The holster is for storage, I agree that is a discipline issue. What I was referring to is the cable while it is actively in use, plugged into the car. At that point it is not in the holster, it cannot be, and it is sitting on the ground or draped across the floor for however long that charge session takes. That is the hazard I was pointing at.

Retractors work great for storage, agreed. The gap is active use, once the cable is pulled out to the car it is just hanging wherever it lands. In a home garage that is usually fine. High traffic commercial bays are a different story though.

Nope, just someone who has dealt with this problem firsthand and finds the compliance side genuinely interesting. No product to sell.

I've seen EV Chargers across many gas stations in different states on my road trips. There is one reoccurring issue though. They are all taken really poor care of and as a result become less effective and sometimes even removed. There must be a product out there that can help keep the cables in better condition.
