Both boys are in the south, and EV dealers strongly suggested to them to AC the garage for longer and better performance of EV. Since dealers don’t install AC might be worth looking into. Our garage is south facing and roughly 20 to 30° higher than any of our north facing garages that were in TV. Heat can destroy grips, club covers, anything with elastic. We store all our equipment batteries inside. We have insulated the doors, which has helped, but AC is next on the list. At this time we store all of our decorations and extra stuff in climate control unit. Worth the $50. Plus no climbing stairs, easy access. Once we AC garage will probably retain the unit.
