"I'm wondering if it's feasible/desirable to permanently mount the Nissan (Panasonic) EVSE to the car.. Looking for a good location. Popped off the trim piece that sits on top of the area in front of the radiator/condenser (the one through which the hood rod is inserted) and noted the large space therein. Also noted the large, horizontal, aluminum(?) bumper -- thought it might be a good place to mount the unit, either on top of the bumper or behind. Accessing this appears not to be too difficult, simply have to remove the bumper cover -- appears to be a half hour job, primarily removing those funky push-in plastic fasteners..
The J1772 cord could be stored on a mounting bracket in the "engine" compartment (might need to be shortened). The power cord could be likewise or perhaps one could install a receptacle such has this:
