I don't understand why the vehicle designers had to pick the rear quarter panel. The MiEV has it in the same location.... :-(
Agreed that is an issue. I've seen some PiP's at work, which also have their port in the rear quarter, have to back into charging spaces to get the cord to reach. Many EVSE have 18' cords which barely reach the back. My Volt has also been a bit an issue at times as well, with its front left location, when I've had to park in the left spot of a public charger. A couple times I've had to stretch the cord over my hood. I definitely have to give Nissan credit for their location on the Leaf right front and center.
Still, this would only be a minor issue for me with the Outlander.
