Front center (like the LEAF) or passenger side makes most sense to me (for street parking), but it's just a free-for-all right now.

Putting it in the front means its more likely to take damage. No thanks.

Putting it on the passenger side means I need to walk around the car nearly every time even though I pretty much never street park the car. No thanks.

Idea: put 2 on the car, opposite each other. Provides redundancy in the event one is damaged & increases usability by not being fussy about the specific parking situation.

Yeah but we both know it will cost more than $0 so it's impossible to implement :-P

Porsche Taycan has optional AC charge ports on both sides. DC charging is single side.

But it also means it's on the correct side for buyers in right hand drive countries.
