Can I install an EV charger in my garage?
I have noticed that many EV charging points are installed on the outside of houses, and not inside the garage. Is there a problem with charging in a garage?

We're not aware of any issues with installing a home charging point in your garage, so long as it has the correct wiring and power connections needed to allow for two or three-phase charging. Some old houses have a limited electricity supply (or no supply at all) to the garage.
If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

When we are all forced to go electric for new cars the batteries will not last forever, so what has been decided what happens with all the old car batteries?
Does fast charging reduce the life of a rechargeable battery by reducing the number of charging cycles it can go through?
For EV owners who do not have off-street home charging and are thus forced to use public EV charging, will repeated use of high Kw rapid chargers damage the battery in the long term?
