Building an oversized one car garage. We are running dedicated service to then garage - it is $350 more to do 20amp service vs 100amp.
My ride doesn't have duals chargers, but I want to leave that option open. If we do 100amp service, can we run a 100amp circuit to an HPWC? Should we pay the extra just to be safe/have flexibility down the line? I don't foresee needing more capacity than 100amp, but who knows (our house was constructed in 1922 before the need for central air was conceived for example).
It is only a one car garage and there isn't much of a driveway (alley) so us having an second EV plugged in regularly is unlikely. However, I want to see if I can provide a secondary outlet on the outside of the garage for someone to use if they are in a pinch. That would be a NEMA 14-50 and I'd shut it off at the panel if I didn't want people using it. I really don't know how I can pull this off with the garage layout, but I want to be a good citizen. It really wouldn't cost much to put it in.
Inside, I have to decide on the HPWC vs NEMA 14-50. I guess I will do the latter and see if it is annoying to not have the convenience of a HPWC.
