When we built our home, back in 2013, we had two Chevy Volts. We had two 240V outlets installed as part of the home builder spec. Later, we added a third Volt for our youngest daughter, Zoe and she used a 120V outlet in the garage for Level 1 charging.
10+ years later, our garage is a stained glass workshop and parking place for three eBikes, one traditional bicycle, a freezer, a refrigerator and lots of lawn and camping equipment. We needed to move one of the outlets from the head-in wall of the garage to a location near the overhead door opening. Since the head-in wall is insulated, we left the wiring in the wall, after disconnecting it from the electric panel, capped the old outlet and ran conduit to the new charger location.
I contacted Smart Charge America to get the job done.
They did a GREAT job at a reasonable price.
If you’re looking to install a new circuit to handle EV charging, you can get an estimate by going here.
You’ll be glad you did! (Tell them Buzz sent you.)
P.S. Smart Charge America’s headquarters are in Austin, Texas, but thankfully they have installers in lots of cities.
P.P.S. The wood planks behind the charger were done by ME, not SCA, because the charger’s cord is very short and stiff. Don’t blame SCA for the lack of style in my work!
