Default Photo of your home charger setup

Let's see your charging set up at home. Curious how everyone has mounted theirs? Here's mine, the E-Tron factory charger with the over-priced wall mount I bought out of Audi New Orleans. for $ 80.50 (shipped) that my dealer wanted $ 220 for, an $ 8 nozzle holder off Amazon

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FCD6SV7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FCD6SV7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I mounted that holder on a block of wood cut from 4 x 4 to angle the nozzle.

Nice Juice Box setup. @2KA6_2.7T does your charging cord drape over your hood to access your charging port or do you back in to charge. Or do you have a Euro with charging ports on both sides???

I wish I have the Euro ( ports on both sides) . Cable is hanging by the garage opener ( over the hood ) to reach the other side, to avoid damages being on the ground ( and animals)
Also note that I have the Audi mount there before I purchase the JB

Thank you for the explanation. I would love to know the dollars and cents behind the decision to omit the passenger side charge port on the etron. Or maybe it is a Euro law. But unlike the side mirrors which I kind of understand not being allowed in the US, I have trouble understanding the second charge port.

Cost Savings - because I believe the Taycan has both ports. and some already delivered to US customers

Any thoughts having transitioned from the etron charger to the JB? 100% positive? Worthwhile investment? Mixed bag? Any comments?

I use the JB and like it better than the Audi one. This is partly out of convenience as I do not have to switch it to 100%. The JB also gives you more stats through the app. I also like that the JB uses thicker wires. So it does not get warm and it seems to be able to deliver a minimal amount of additional power to the car over the Audi one.

I also prefer using the JB40 for the same reasons. I keep the Audi charger in the frunk and use it at travel destinations that have a 240V outlet in the garage, like my son's house.
