Detached garage: Level 2 EV charger with trenched feed
A 48A Level 2 charger installed in a detached garage, fed by a new underground circuit from the house panel.
Demo project: fictional example, not real completed work
- Property
- Detached home, 2004
- Duration
- 2 days
- Charger
- 48A hardwired, Level 2
- Area
- Millbrook
The challenge
The garage stood about 18 metres from the house with no existing supply. The owners also wanted garage lighting and a couple of outlets for tools.
Our approach
- Load calculation confirmed the existing 200A panel had capacity.
- Route planned along a fence line to avoid the driveway and irrigation.
- Trench, conduit and a small sub-panel in the garage for the charger, lights and outlets.
- Charger configured and connected to the owners’ app before handover.
Scope of work
- Underground conduit and feeder to the garage
- 60A sub-panel in the garage
- 48A hardwired Level 2 charger
- LED batten lighting and two GFCI-protected outlets
Outcome
The car now charges overnight in the garage, and the sub-panel leaves room for a workshop circuit later.
