There is no industry standard on where the port is...all depends on where they can put the charging unit, and minimize the length of the cabling plus have room for the port. Everyone else in the USA uses a J1772 port for level 1 and 2 except Tesla but they can vary all around the vehicle with some of them in the middle of the front, and at each corner.
It appears that they put yours there to minimize the length of the cable run, since the power panel is right there. Since your box is a plug-in, nothing says you couldn't have a second socket installed where you want, but the cost to run additional wiring starts to add up, especially if you want it to run IN the wall, rather than on top of it. Functionally, running it on top of the wall with conduit to an additional socket wouldn't be too expensive.
