I’m looking for ideas of how to charge 2 EV’s in our garage. I’ve got a 2021 MS with a wall connector. Been working great through two MS’s for almost six years.
My wife will soon be taking delivery of a 2022 BMW X5 45e PHEV.
There’s a few obstacles to overcome to charge it every night in our garage.
1) The BMW’s battery takes 6 hours to charge, so sharing the wall connector isn’t really an option.
2) Her spot is in the middle of a 3 car garage, so there’s no obvious wall on her side to place an outlet.
3) Moving her car to the third spot is not an option.
4) The BMW charge port is on the front left of the vehicle. (Which may work to our advantage, but...)
5) The wall in front of her car is actually two large doors for the heater and hot water tank.
We’ve thought of perhaps running the cable along the ceiling and letting it dangle down where she could simply drive up to it and plug it in. Also, simply placing the 240V outlet somewhere safely around the HVAC closet, although that will take some creative arranging.
Any thoughts?
Is there a thread somewhere of people sharing their garage photos?
