Hi,
I’m getting an EV home charger installed soon (untethehered) and I’m looking at where to place it.
Ideally, I want it inside the garage rather than outside on public view. This causes a little headscratching as to how to actually use the charging cable.
What I have ‘dreamt up’ is shown below:
- Charger is on the wall inside the garage
- There will be 2 Type 2 cables available to plug-in (not at the same time)
- One cable will exit the left hand side wall
- The other will, after routing the cable, exit the right hand side wall
- On the outside I want to fit a ‘port’ (similar to what is pictured - although I used a photo editor to make it) - which I’d like to be a small unit that is very unobtrusive
I know that I’ll have to go into the garage to plug in the correct cable (left side/right side) but I would rather do that than have the wall charger itself on just one side externally. This way I have options on which side to use depending on whether we have visitors/another EV in a year or 2.
My questions are:
- Has anyone done/installed anything like this?
- What was the additional cost over and above the basic/standard fitting?
- What was used on the outside wall to plug the type 2 cable into (needs to be sealed/sheltered/protected)? It needs to be rigidly surface mounted (an hopefully angled downwards slightly)
Thanks in advance for any advice/opinions.
