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

    Our garage is similar except the door to the house is where your door to the deck is, and we put ours roughly at B and then a little to the left of where you have C, at the top of stalls 2 and 3. Our electrical panel is on the other side of C but in the basement. So in theory a standard 25 foot cable could reach from C to all three stalls, or from B to the right two; we park our two EVs at 1 and 2.

    Plugging in a car that’s in the driveway was not on our radar, but it’s possible that the B plug could reach out the garage door. We also had a regular outlet installed next to B that could reach out that far. In retrospect maybe we could/should have put the B plug at A in case someone visits us who needs a charge.
