An electrician should be able to use your existing wiring to move the outlet into your garage, however it would be best to speak to a licensed electrician about moving the outlet and all that is involved. You would want to be sure you have a 4 prong dryer outlet, called the NEMA 14-30 outlet, as we offer the NEMA 14-30 plug with our plug-in LCS models. If you have a 3 prong dryer outlet, called the NEMA 10-30 outlet, you will likely need some rewiring done as the older style dryer outlet does not utilize a ground wire. All of our models require an earth ground connection in order to operate properly. Additionally, when charging a vehicle the ground is passed through to the vehicle from the station for safety earth grounding during charging. If a neutral is used instead of a ground the neutral could generate a charge on the vehicle chassis, creating a potential safety hazard upon contact with the vehicle during or after charging.
