It's also worth considering putting a charge point in the middle, rather than the end, of a long wall, as if you have (or get in the future) 2 EVs then one might have a front charging port and the other a rear one. A bit of future proofing I did came in handy!
That is a great tip!
I don’t care about this topic/genre of topics enough to subscribe, but thanks for the info. Semi helpful. I have outdoor parking in a snowy climate with a plow during winter pushing snow everywhere. 3 mailbox replacements in 20 years. My situation needs some major infrastructure I believe.
Another good video
What about risk of fire from thermal runaway? Inside or outside becomes much more relevant. Can smart chargers detect this, will they alarm and shut off or warn the owner of a problem. Do I need to install smoke detection if the charger cant perform this function?
Hi do you have a video about installation of EV charger for people living in flats?
I would like to obtain information related to the correct location for installing electric vehicle charging points.
For example... Can I install the charging point in a garage located in the basement of a building?
Information regarding safety distances in order to avoid fire risks as well as emergency response through firefighters.
Thank you in advance for your attention.
Ok, maybe a dumb question, but when choosing inside vs outside a garage (since I sometimes park outside)……if it’s outside, can just anyone come and plug into it? Or is there any way to gate-keep who can use it?
Ha, never mind, just found the video where you talk about this exact question. Great videos, thanks!
@@rexthompson1777 Hi Rex, thanks! Was just about to point you to that very video :) As I explain in that video, it is very unlikely someone will just "pinch" your charger or use it. But if you're concerned there are chargers out there that have software locks just to be sure. Thanks for watching - Danny
Is it better to put a charger in a covered location (e.g. inside the garage) instead of outside, protecting it from outside weather conditions (sun/rain/snow)
EV charge points are usually designed for outdoor use, so you should be fine. Always check the manufacturer guidelines though, as there are lots of products out there so I can only comment on the specific ones we install that are on our website.
From a user experience point of view, though, it is nicer to have your charger in a sheltered location (mine is in my porch area), so if it's raining etc then you or the cable don't get as wet. But this is just a quality of life thing.

What about the electrical connection?
