This elevated charging arm improves garage safety, organization, and also helps with space efficiency. Not only does this work for your tesla but almost any electric vehicle with various charging adapters. You can see this is what my typical charging setup looks like with the obvious trip hazard on the floor right to my house entry door. Made from lightweight aluminum, it can support most EV charging cords and the entire unit can be mounted on drywall into a stud or even brick, stone, and concrete. Installing this took me only 15 minutes. Looking at the packaging, it’s all pretty straight forward. If you have ever installed a TV mount in your home, you’ll find this super easy to put up as this follows a very similar concept. Comparing this with the first generation kit, the new EV Hover is now only 6.5 feet long rather than 9.5 feet. It also has the hook built into the arm rather than installing it later and finally instead of using carabiner hooks to hold up the charging cord whe now have these black zip ties. There are few pros and cons to these changes which I will talk about later in this video.
Fully extend the charging arm outward and take your charging cord and use the included zip ties to connect it to the arm. There is a small slot on various parts of the arm to insert the zip tie into. I left a little slack on the zip ties in case I need to move the charging cord for later use. Then just hang the end of your charging cord onto the hook and fold the arms up against the wall. And that's all for this installation, as you can see it’s a big improvement now that it's elevated above me rather than getting all dirty on the ground. Not to mention the trip hazard I had earlier.
Now in comparison to version 1 of this product, what I do not like is that for my case the arm is not long enough to reach my charging port. The last version was 9.5 feet which was perfect to reach the charging port. Now only 6.5 feet you can see the cord has to kinda rest on my car a little. It’s not a huge deal but I just thought I would throw that out there. I did however back my car into the garage so now the charging port is now facing the wall and this happened to work out great. However, 99% of the time I always pull my tesla in face forward. This would work out great if my tesla was on the other side of the garage however that's not where the EV plug is located; along with the electrical box. So just take note that the EV hover is now only 6.5 feet long. Finally my last negative is the zip ties. The last version had nice carabiner hooks and you could easily unclip or re-attach the charging cord into the arm. Now with the zip ties, once you attach them, and say you need your mobile connector for a road trip, you have to cut them off to free the cable. They also do not look the greatest in my opinion. The end hook however, I think, has been greatly improved. It’s smaller and works great at holding the tesla plug. You can actually pinch the holder arm to be smaller or actually pull it apart to hold the larger J1772 adapter for other EVs. You could also wrap the excess cord around the end too if that works better for you. That's just my two cents on this product. What do you think? Let me know in the comments below…Overall though, excellent product. If you haven't noticed, I also have this mobile charger cap protector. Should I accidentally drop the charger, the damage should be minimal especially if it were to hit my car. I have links below this video should you be interested in getting one yourself along with the EV Hover Kit. They are also offering all of my subscribers a coupon to use at checkout to save some extra money.

For me, it looks like a big step backwards compared to the Gen 1 you had. Hopefully they'll continue to make the older version available as this new one has too many significant drawbacks.
Nope, they discontinued the older version, you can't buy it anymore except maybe on eBay for a huge marked up price.
For $449 it seems way more expensive than it needs to be.
About $250-$300 is closer to it's worth.
Don’t forget to use my coupon for another $50 off.
$300 is still $150 too expensive. The pricing is just totally redondulous
Thank you for the update video. I love my EV Hover v1 and I think these design changes should be a separate product rather than an "upgrade"
Thanks for the review. I'm getting one this week for a review. I have quite a different installation planned for my garage.
Thanks for the video super informative. I do like the first version better. I feel like the changes they made were to save money on cost. I don't know that it's a better product, especially with zip ties as opposed to caribeaners. Finally, for the price of $300. They definitely should have kept the original length and caribeaners. I think I'll be passing on this one
Looks like a good arm for holding my garage TV
Hahaha yea it says 20lbs max
Seems like a minor thing but we got the protective cap for charger as well. Small but works great, especially when charger and vehicle are aways apart.
how can i buy generation 1 of this?
I am looking for a longer model. Maybe the original would be better suited for me. Do they still make the 9.5 foot version?
I've heard they are working on a longer version that is adjustable.
Can you use BYO carabiners instead of the included cable ties??
They will not fit through the holes.. I just really tightened down the zip ties to the bar rather than leaving them loosened as you saw.
V2 is terrible and big downgrade. I guess just like Tesla, finding ways to cut cost.
The zip ties look tacky and cheap. Besides the hook, the older version is alot better in my opinion. This one is a drawback in everyway compared to the older version.
Looks like you can't even buy version 1 anymore, they discontinued it.
black zip ties ad $450 should not go together
