We are planning for making our condo garage “EV Ready”.
Because of the building’s layout, it is impossible to connect any electrical circuits from our individual electrical meters to a charging outlet or EVSE in the garage. The garage has no outlets available currently.
The garage does have a common area electrical panel with numerous spare 20A breakers available, enough to supply each owner with an outlet. These could be used as long as the electricity was metered and owners pay for usage.
Searching the web for a level 1 solution because of the limitations of the common area electrical panel, I came across an integrated outlet made by Plugzio with metering capabilities (Plugzio | Affordable, Simple, Scalable EV Charging). This will provide all owners with an outlet for EV charging or whatever they want, and a way to meter the usage.
We are considering multiple 110V 20A Plugzio outlets to solve our garage charging issue - does anyone have any experience with this company or device?
I know that this will be slow level 1 charging, but for our charging needs and the amount of time the car stays parked in the garage, it should be sufficient.
