At home charging worries.. please help!

Above are the photos. The Y will be parked in that spot and the distance between that spot and where the 240V plug will be is 25 feet.

Is there anything I can do besides an extension cord?

Why do you assume you can't have the connection there near your carport? I see grass and a bush right there at the nose end of your car just off the cement. So you could put in a mounting post there if needed. And that walkway from the house to the carport looks like just placed cement paving stones. I don't see why this situation couldn't put in a trench/conduit with wires under the sidewalk or next to that sidewalk out to your carport. Then, you could have a wall connector mounted on a post in the yard or on the post supporting the carport. That's what I was already figuring before seeing pictures, and this makes it look pretty reasonable.

For 2020, you get a 30 percent federal tax credit for installing an EV charger. This is for the full cost of parts and labor. Some states have additional incentives. There is no credit for a 240v outlet.

Where is this incentive located at? Thank yo
