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.
