I remember seeing a video that showed this (but didn't really mention it) "bring your own cable" solution.
After searching a little bit, I found it.

At about 40-45 seconds, you see the cord being plugged into the EVSE. And then again at about 2:30-2:40 you get a much better view of this type of cord. I believe this was recorded in France (I could be mistaken).
Yes, Its called the "Mennekes" system, I have links to it near the top of this thread.
Its too bad it wasn't "good enough" for us, because its solves this issue.
