I bought a Chevy Bolt recently and I’m currently a renter. We’re hoping to buy our first house in the coming months, and buying a home charger is one of my first priorities after we close.
Houses are older in my area (metro Detroit), especially at our price point. Most garages are detached, some non existent.
Is there anything specially I need to look or ask for to ensure the house is EV Charger acceptable? Does the electrical equipment need to be somewhere specifically?
Finally, would I be able to purchase a free standing charger if it’s unable to attach to the house?
Even if your panel space is low you probably can do a 15 amp 240 circuit, that’s still twice as fast as a regular plug which makes a difference especially when it’s cold.
