Our first EV was a Leaf which uses a Type 1 (J1772) connector. Everything newer uses Type 2 (Mennekes) connector so going tethered would have been severely limiting down the line. Regarding making it tidy, we installed a couple of cable hooks on the wall and looped it round. Job done
At 0:22 I thought to myself. That is a novel place for EVES. On the gravel drive. Other things to consider with Tether or non tether is theft of the cable
