ᐅ Recommended Location for Wallbox in a Double Garage

Hello everyone,

perhaps some of you already have practical experience with electric cars and charging stations. We are about to start the wiring for our new double garage. Attached is a sketch:

Next to the distribution board, there will also be a 16A or 32A outlet. Do you think the number of outlets might be too many? And the main question:
1. Where would you generally place wallboxes? Closer to the garage entrance or inside the garage?
2. For a double garage, would you rather go for two wallboxes?

Hello,
the issue is settled. Most cars have the charging port on the rear right side or are front-charging. Since you can park the car either forward or backward, it is "almost" irrelevant where you position the wallbox. Placing it at the middle or two-thirds height of the side wall should fit all car types.

Why not run a LAN cable directly to each wallbox?

Thanks for the suggestion. The sketch is mine. I was thinking of "LAN + power" for one wallbox. You're right, it would be good to add the LAN icon there as well.

My wife also brings up the point: What if the car is parked outside in front of the double garage? In that case, it might be better not to have one wallbox inside and one outside.
I would argue that it might still be possible to pull the cable out from inside and leave the garage door slightly open by a few millimeters (if that works with the Hörmann Supramatik E4).

If your bays are 1 meter (3 feet 3 inches) wide, both cars won’t fit in the garage – right? In that case, discussing the turning radius wouldn’t make much sense. 😉
