The location of an EV charger is very significant when it will be installed in the garage, since an inappropriate location can hamper its functionality or even make it a safety hazard. If you are wondering about the best location for an EV charger in your garage<\/strong>, this article aims to point out some important considerations to keep in mind before installation. We\u2019ll discuss some important factors to take into consideration, in an effort to help you find the best place to install your Borne de recharge \u00e9lectrique<\/a>, and share some helpful tips on things you can do to help your EV charger run smoothly after you install it.<\/p>\n

Where Is the Best Place to Put an EV Charger?<\/h2>\n

There are some things to keep in mind when thinking of where to locate the EV charger other than just \u201csomewhere on an empty wall.\u201d Here are the most significant of these considerations:<\/p>\n

1. Distance from Electrical Panel<\/h3>\n

The closer the EV charger will be to the electrical panel in your house, the easier and less expensive it will be to install the charger. The shorter the distance from the charger to the electrical panel, the less wiring will also be needed, and installation will be simpler. Speak to a licensed electrician for more concrete advice about proper positioning.<\/p>\n

2. Distance from Charger to Vehicle<\/h3>\n

You will want the charger to be located within reach of the charging cable, which should easily make it to the charging port on your EV. Most Stations de recharge pour v\u00e9hicules \u00e9lectriques<\/a> use cables which are from 12 to 25 feet long. So keep the distance from your EV charger to the EV\u2019s charging port no more than the length of the cable that\u2019s coming with the charging station. Overly stretched cables can be damaged and create tripping hazards. Even if you have multiple EVs, make sure the charging station\/cable will work with all of them, as not all EVs have the same charging port style.<\/p>\n

3. Convenience & Accessibility<\/h3>\n

Keep your charger in a location that\u2019s convenient to plug your EV into the charger. If you will enter your garage from an inner door most of the time, keep your charger close by for easy plugging and unplugging. Avoid hidden, cramped spots that will be inconvenient.<\/p>\n

4. Wall Space and Mounting<\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t have your charger hang against a vulnerable wall full of decorations that could be knocked off on impact. Choose a sturdy wall for your EV charger. About 4 feet off the ground seems good to keep it out of the way of small children and pets when mounted close to the ground.<\/p>\n

5. Orientation of Parking<\/h3>\n

Make sure the EV is parked head-on or backed into the garage from the side that\u2019s the same as the side of the car with the charging port.<\/p>\n

6. Ventilation<\/h3>\n

Install the charger in a location that has good ventilation so it dissipates its heat adequately and doesn\u2019t overheat or blow fuses\u2014especially in garages which can trap heat.<\/p>\n

Installing an EV Charger in Your Garage<\/h2>\n

Once you\u2019ve selected an ideal spot, these steps ensure the rest of your installation is trouble-free:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Check code compliance:<\/strong> Make sure your installation meets any local building codes, and whether a permit will be required.<\/li>\n
  2. Hire a pro:<\/strong> You will want to hire a licensed electrician for installation. Many make their living performing EV charger installations, so there shouldn\u2019t be a shortage available.<\/li>\n
  3. Install a dedicated 240V circuit:<\/strong> Make sure your new Level 2 charger is plugged into a dedicated single 240-volt circuit. Check your electrical panel to make sure it is able to handle this additional draw.<\/li>\n
  4. Mount the charger:<\/strong> Hang and secure the unit in a location it will be easy to access and at least four feet off the floor.<\/li>\n
  5. Test it:<\/strong> Before plugging it in, power it up and make sure it is working properly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
