The gas station is moving to your garage. Whether you're building new or renovating, here’s how to get your space ready for EV charging.
Start with the Power: You’ll Need 240 Volts
Electric vehicles need more than a standard wall outlet. A Level 2 EV charger—like the Emporai Level 2 EV Charger (48 amps)—requires a dedicated 240v circuit with a NEMA 6-50 outlet.
- Faster charge times—hours instead of days
- No competition with appliances like dryers or AC units
- Fewer breaker trips and electrical issues
If you're not already set up, hire a licensed electrician to install the circuit. It’s a smart, future-proof investment.
Pick the Right Charger
Not all chargers are built equal. The Emporai Level 2 EV Charger (48 amps) offers high-speed charging with dependable build quality and a compact design.
Why Emporai stands out:
- Delivers 48 amps of charging power
- Compatible with most EVs
- Easy installation with NEMA outlet support
- Built to last
Think Through the Placement
Placement matters more than you think. Make charging simple and smooth by mounting your station in a practical spot.
- Close to your EV's usual parking location
- Cable should reach without crossing high-traffic areas
- Mount at a comfortable height for plugging in
Keep the Setup Clean and Safe
A cluttered garage is unsafe. A few simple tools will keep your charging space tidy:
- Wall-mounted cable holsters or hooks
- Retractable reels for cord storage
- Cord covers to reduce trip hazards
Insulate Your Garage for Battery Health
EV batteries are sensitive to temperature swings. Insulate your garage walls and doors to keep it climate-stable. This helps protect your battery and extends its life.
Final Word: Your Garage is the New Gas Station
EVs are the future—and the future starts in your garage. With the right setup, you’ll be charging faster, safer, and smarter.
Invest in a dedicated circuit, stay organized, and install a reliable charger like the Emporai Level 2 EV Charger (48 amps). You’ll thank yourself later.
