Taking Care of Your Baby for the Fun of it

[JimBob]

EV’s have special needs and I am kind of thinking about it.

First will your wife let you do it?

Has anyone after getting their Taycan (or any other car) and installing a charger, done the next step or thought about it?

Redoing the garage
Full insulation
New drywall or paneling
Maybe some heating
Polyaspartic floor coating
Garage cabinets and storage
Car lift, if you are committed big time
New doors

And if so, what did you do? Was it worth it? DIY or contractor? Pitfalls and things to look out for?

Photos would be nice.

And I don’t own a garage company, but the guy down the street does.

I have all of the above, with the exception of a car lift. I would recommend them all.

This garage set up is fabulous!. Easily the best room in the house.

I did put in a new floor anticipating the Taycan's arrival. The Ford GT moved out when Taycan arrived.

Drooling over you guys garages! Truly magnificent!

As for what the wife will allow, she allowed me to get the car! ?
A man can dream tho. Maybe someday!

Fully insulated, ventilated and heated..

HOOOOOOOOOOOOLY fuckety fuck boy... Bravo! Bra-vo!

My garage, which pales in comparison, but does the trick:

Connected the PMCC to a 400V 16A which gives 11kW-ish if needed - normally only 8kW needed during the night.

I highly recommend the folks over at GarageLiving.com (in the US) for some inspiration. My garage reno will be completed by them in a few weeks. New floors, paint, cabinets, slat walls, lighting, and EV charger install.

I used the below photo for inspiration. I don't take delivery until April, but might as well do it up right.

This always felt so wrong with a oil leaking stinking ICE, but with my Taycan: perfect fit!

Definitely take care of your baby with epoxy flooring and full cabinets. I’m thinking of hearing it next...
