That looks too far out, I hope they didn't do like they did here in Alameda and mis-measure. The first two weeks you had to park over the lines with your port in-line with where the cable attaches to the post in order to reach, lots of re-parking until they repositioned the parking stops.
New chargers also seem to reverse the orientation of the posts so that the cord attaches on the left instead of the old way with the cord coming from the right side of the post. This makes the distance to your port shorter so more flexibility with bad parking, but it means the plug is facing away from your port when unhooked from the post.
("port" is the charge port under the flap on your car, "post" is the station to which the cable is attached, "plug" is the cable's end that gets plugged into your car) Anyone got better terms?
