Could it be installed depending if you pull in to the garage or back in to the garage?

Is the cable long enough to go around so you can do either?
To the best of my knowledge, code does not specify placement. Some people have the chargers installed on the back wall of the garage, the wall opposite the door. I specified a side wall of the garage, near the door; I charge the vehicle in the driveway. Don't want it in the garage if it decides to burst into flames during charging.

The charger cables that I have seen are usually around 24 or 25 feet long.

I’m coming up on 11 years with my EV and 11 years with the charger. When I decided to start parking it outside (I’m not worried about fires, as I think that’s mostly fodder), it was because I bought a performance gas car that I want parked inside the garage instead. I did some research and found an extension cable for any charger. Best Buy sells it. My charger has a very long cord, probably 20 feet but it was kind of a PITA as I’d have to park the EV hatch less than a foot from the rear bumper of my performance car in the garage so it would reach. Said fuck that, ordered the extension cable. I could be parked at the end of the driveway and it would reach now.

Enjoy the new ride. The best part is little to no maintenance.

Congratulations V-Tail!
I personally don't want an EV for various reasons but applaud those who think it will work out for them.

Yes a very nice car! I work indirectly for Cadillac as a product trainer. I drove two Lyrics for about 13 months and put 20K on them together. I drove through Illinois, Indiana and Ohio to the dealerships I am responsible for. I also drove through Kentucky and Tennessee and had zero issues finding a place to charge the car. Best driving car I have ever driven and a lot of luxury touch points in the interior. Well done!
