As the title says. I am having some electrical work done that includes some work in my garage. I don’t currently have an EV but might in the future and even if I don’t have one before selling this house, an appropriate outlet would be a nice selling point.

Here is my totally-professional-and-absolutely-to-scale-architectural-drawing of my garage with a few suggested locations. Based on where ports are located on most cars what location would be best? https://imgur.com/9VfLfbq

    D. That way you can park in 4 different spots and charge.

    You can park in the two garage spots and 2, maybe 3, different spots in the driveway. So if you have company over and they need to charge, it’s not a big deal.

    If you’re only putting one in I would pick D. If you’re putting 2 then also A. The reasoning is D is more central and you can run the cord outside too incase you have family/guests visiting that need a charge.

    I just installed a sub panel in my garage and put one in A and D so I’m ready to go. The cord is long enough so I can reach just about anywhere in the garage so the charge port location on the car doesn’t really matter and I can reach well out into my driveway.

    C, D won’t reach 1s passenger side and A to 2s driver side.

    The cord can only be so long.
