Is it possible to fit an EV charger in my garage if it's away from the house?

Please can someone help?

Every video I have seen of V2G or home charging points shows the charger on a drive next to the house. 

Our drive is one car wide, but we have a double garage at the back beyond the house (blame Persimmon who built it). To effectively use an EV each, we’d need to plug in in the garage.

Can it be done?

Looks like this topic was missed, @EverythingNeedsAUserName when it was posted 7 months ago!  I can see it wasn’t a ‘Question’ topic type, so other Mods didn’t have this on their ‘to answer’ list. I’ll make it a Question topic now, as I know other potential EV owners will have this same question! 

I’m reaching out to the OVO Smart Home team (previously Kaluza Support) now to get some technical advice to you. 

I’m hoping some V2G trialists will be able to advice in the meantime. I know @IbrahimEV and @Jequinlan had lots of visits from OVO and DNO engineers, so might be able to advise today….

Hi. I had my v2g installed on my garage which was separate to my property and they just ran a cable tacked above ground to the v2g from the main unit. I am guessing distance and maths will mean situations vary especially length of run.

Thanks @Ash_OVO @Jequinlan

I hadn't thought about the cable, with there being a power supply - but of course it won't be powerful enough. 

I guess the first problem will be that between the house and the garage is a pattern-imprinted concrete driveway!

The second problem will be be the shortage of space inside the garage particularly in front of my Golf Estate which has its bonnet underneath set of shelves.

If we do go electric we'll need charging on the right side of the cars. 

Drat. 

@EverythingNeedsAUserName if you have a route to trace around you may be in luck,  but boy my cable is thick! (And, you will need 2 per charger!) I also had a space issue do got the charger mounted on outside garage wall and the cable can go in...

My charging point is nowhere near my house. I have two allocated parking spaces for my house but luckily my spaces are right next to my back garden. Or else I don't think it would of happened 

It doesn’t seem as though I am going to be getting an EV. The concrete (shown in blue) is pretty thick and there is very little space for anything inside the garage. If the cars (arrow facing forward) are not parked tightly, there is hardly room to squeeze between them to get out or in!

The garage wall to either side of the door is only about 18 inches. There are fences all along the sides of the drive - at the top of the image is my neighbours garden, at the bottom ours with mature shrubs, and the gate to the garden, next to the house. Our garage wall is their garden edge.

The Leaf is only 7cm shorter than my Golf Estate, and the same width! So I cannot see how I could get at its charging socket.

I never thought we’d be stymied because of the mistakes that Persimmon made while building the estate in the mid eighties!  Supposedly they allowed too much space when setting out the earlier houses, and by the time they got to us, everything had to be squeezed in to get the rest of the houses on the land!

Sorry I saw persimmon homes and laughed. I've been living in my persimmom home for 5 years now and it's just awful 😂 but you can get a valuation done where someone comes out and evaluates if it's possible to get an ev charging point. Mine is outside and not under a cover. It is still going with zero issues 

@EverythingNeedsAUserName mine is also outside and the cable just runs inside the garage. Ev chargers need to be durable to weather so it should be fine
