Done (as usual) the not so fancy way...
I've actually gotten questions about this and while it was just Maximum Expediency(tm) on my part I guess some details are in order:
It's just the EVSE (Charger cord) that came with the car, as modified by EVSE Upgrade (see earlier post HERE) and a white plastic desk-side trash basket
...tweaked a bit with some shears, a coat-hook and an old plastic flowerpot.
The rim and part of the side were cut off the trash basket and the bottom removed from the flowerpot (to create the 'holster') If you click on the picture you'll get more detail...
I needed a couple screws into the upper corners and it was hard to get those in, thus the holes you can see in the front. Those two screws plus the ones on the coat-hook are all that holds it to the wall.
The flower pot has the bottom cut off and a couple zip-ties hold it in place.
Hard to see, but there's a little block glued to the concrete in the lower right corner that keeps the garage door from coming down all the way. Even if your door doesn't normally close all that hard, it's sure to smash down harder on occasion. Smashing high current cords...can't be good...
One thing to think about: You don't want that cord exposed to strong sun for a long period every day. Couple years of that and you'll be looking at cracks. I'm guessing cracks and water are a bad combination...
