As the title says. I am having some electrical work done that includes some work in my garage. I don’t currently have an EV but might in the future and even if I don’t have one before selling this house, an appropriate outlet would be a nice selling point.

Here is my totally-professional-and-absolutely-to-scale-architectural-drawing of my garage with a few suggested locations. Based on where ports are located on most cars what location would be best? https://imgur.com/9VfLfbq

    The panel location is a huge factor if the installation cost is important to you.

    That aside, I think D is the best spot if you have a Tesla, but will certainly be the most expensive to install

      “… most expensive to install.

      While “D” is the longest run, I suspect that 90%+ of the run would be in the open attic space with only the drop down portion requiring wall work. So yeah, most expensive, but the difference shouldn’t be that bad as the biggest driver is labor cost.
