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

    I’m a two EV home and about to add a third with only a two car garage. If I were in your shoes, and future proofing for more than one EV, then I would C, but moved a few feet to the left. You can then charge all three spots without fear or worry of driving over the cable and ripping it out of a car. Set a rule that a parked EVs must have the charge port nearest to the EVSE (Tesla backed in, others pull forward in). I would also add a high quality 120v outlet on a dedicated circuit 20a circuit on the outside wall where D or A are, so someone could slow charge at max amps with a car outside if needed.

    If you have a guest that needs to charge, then pull one of your cars out and let them sit in garage charging stall or trickle charge with that external outlet.
