the advise is kinda simple - when having the electician visit - don’t be super laser focused on just the NEMA 14-50 plug in your garage - ask to to quote both a NEMA 14-50 plug- or a subpanel of 50 amps or greater - you might be surprised that it’s not that much more money - and getting a subpanel to the garage (the most likely place you’ll want the chargers) will make it easier for your future multi-EV household - if the electrican says your panel can handle it - then get the biggest subpanel to your garage you and your home can handle - adding/removing/adjusting EVSE’s or NEMA plugs from a near by sub-panel is almost a DIY project once you have the high capacity/high quality circuit from the main panel and will give you degrees of freedom in the future when you bring home your 2nd EV.
get the biggest circuit/breaker/wire your garage and main panel can handle, you’ll thank us later.
