Charging solution suggestions

[MachErena]

I have 2 EV vehicles. Our level 2 charger is mounted in the garage. Has anyone cut a hole in the garage wall to charge a vehicle outside? I am looking for ideas. The garage is old with a thin wood wall and covered in siding. I want to make sure it has a door or cover so the hole is not always exposed.

I saw someone made a hole in their garage and had an RV port cover like this but big enough to fit the charger handle through.

Exactly what I was envisioning. Thanks so much!

Nicely done. I will be stealing shamelessly.

That’s a decently long cord, which charger is that?

How do you like the JuiceBox? I've been thinking about getting one to take over for the Ford Mobile charger (and put that back into the car to carry with me everywhere) but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

I have the Grizzl-E. We have had it for 7-8 months. It has served us well! It’s on the affordable end of L2 chargers.

Great! I was looking at the JB40 as my local power company offers it for $399, so it might still beat the Grizzl-E by a few dollars but always good to have other options if that one doesn't work out. Cheers!

I like the reports I can run, the monthly report does a great job of telling me how much power I am using.
