on the wall opposite the door
Do you have an EV in mind? Some manufacturers use different locations including the front of the vehicle. Look up models you're interested in and base your decision off that.
run conduit to a few places, tesla is rear left others vary
Hi all..

Not trying to be confrontational…
Surely it depends on if you reverse in or drive in?

Haha I was thinking the same thing. But seriously, I'd be getting a cable run to both sides anyway, at least if you have a double garage. Won't cost all that much more and I'd be expecting EVs to be a big thing in the next 10 years anyway.
Wouldn't you just do it in the middle of back wall and run the charging lead long enough to reach either of two cars?
For my new home build I'm covering all bases...

A 3 Phase 32A Circuit on the back wall of the garage and 1 Phase 32A Circuits on either side towards the front of the garage.

On either side of the house I also have 15A GPO's.

Probably excessive but I do like my toys.

Builder Charging to Review Independent Reports

It is true that a builder can ignore your independent inspection report as it is not part of the contractual arrangement but that is stupid because he cannot avoid fixing…
