Default Any suggestions on adding a Golf Cart charging outlet

I need an outlet in the center bay of my garage for charging a second golf card. Any recommendations?

We put the car in the center bay and the golf carts on either side. Used the existing outlets with surge protectors. Of course if you still have two cars.....never mind.

I added a dedicated circuit in the ceiling between the existing golf cart and car garage. I was able to do this myself, and then get it inspected. In my case this was for a welder, but same idea. If you are not comfortable installing your own wiring, I would use Lenhart's or ECI for this work. Used both for larger projects, and would recommend both.

Be careful if using the outlet in the ceiling with the garage door opener. A golf cart charger draws a lot of amps and usually requires a separate, dedicated, upgraded amp circuit.
