I’ve thought about that. There is a fence immediately right of my driveway and an alley immediately left. I have very little space to install any sort of pole, and as I live in Minnesota, what little space I do have is needed badly for snow storage. It’s already a problem, last winter the snow was stacked above 6 feet either side.

The left side of my garage potentially has room for a charger to be mounted to the face of the garage, the right side does not.

How long are the cables generally? If I could charge both cars from the left of the garage with like extra long charging cords it could maybe be workable if not a tripping hazard. I also wonder how flexible the cables are in -20°F to -30°F weather? Do they get stiff/brittle?



The cable lengths can vary. The EVSE I recently installed has 24ft of cable. I can't speak to what the cable is like in that cold though, around here my garage rarely gets below freezing.

A high quality normal extension cord is fine in Europe, even if it's 20m or more.

I don't know about 120V use, but I assume you'd use 240V for a new socket anyway.
