[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did this when we had a renovation done. He ran a separate high-voltage circuit to a j-box on the inside, and outside of our garage (2 circuits total). It's just a "blank" faceplate with the wires inside. It's pretty easy to have an electrician wire in a charger from that. The hard part is getting the circuit and wiring to where you need it, so we got that part covered.[/quote]

I think this is what I’m asking. On the outside, how do you control if some rando wanted to use your car charger? Is there a switch somewhere inaccessible to strangers?[/quote]

We had one in our old driveway. No one ever tried to use it.

You could turn off the circuit at the panel if you were worried about it. Or the electrician could possibly add an interior switch but that seems like an unnecessary cost.

If you are going to the trouble/cost to get an electrician to run the circuit, just add the universal outlet IMO. You can change it later but it should work for almost all EVs. [/quote]
