Getting your EV Cable off the garage floor?

Just wondering if any of you had any DIY solutions or products you found for getting your electric vehicle charging cable off the ground and suspended from the ceiling? Cable retraction is preferred.

I've seen this accomplished with retractable spring/tool balancers. Overall, I haven't been too impressed with what I've seen, and I'm surprised there aren't more solutions being marketed.

Found this: https://evhover.com/products/ev-hover

Wasn't impressed with the ev-hover and seems overpriced.

Thanks

What don't you like about that one you posted? What would you prefer or design?

Just keep in mind that you don't want the cables tightly wound.
