Electric vehicles (EVs) are accelerating faster than ever.
According to the International Energy Agency’s 2024 report, over 14 million EVs were sold worldwide in 2023, and global EV stock is projected to reach 240 million by 2030 if current trends continue.
Australia is also catching up quickly, with EV market share rising steadily, particularly in urban and suburban homes where space is tight.
But installing a charger isn’t the only step to prepare for the electric future. Tight garage spaces, complex manoeuvres, and new safety considerations are creating fresh challenges for EV owners.
The good news? With the right setup, your garage can be smarter, safer, and fully ready for the next decade of electric mobility.
Setting up your EV-friendly garage: what you need to know
Switching to an EV is exciting, but preparing your home for it is a step many new owners overlook. A proper garage setup not only ensures smoother daily use but also protects your investment over the long term.
Getting your EV garage ready starts with three critical elements: your electrical infrastructure, your charging equipment, and your physical space. Missing any of these can turn daily charging into an unnecessary hassle.
- Electrical installation: You’ll need a dedicated 240V circuit installed by a licensed electrician. Always follow local codes for safety and insurance compliance.
- Choosing the right charger: Look for home chargers offering 7kW to 22kW output, ensure compatibility with your EV model (typically a Type 2 connector), and prioritise smart-enabled models for flexibility.
- Garage layout considerations: Install the charger strategically for easy access to the charging port. Add cable holders to avoid clutter and trip hazards.
Careful planning now ensures that your garage evolves alongside your vehicle needs, ready for your current EV and for the future ones as well.
Optimising garage space with a smart turntable
Adding an EV charger changes the dynamics of your garage. Suddenly, space that was already tight becomes even harder to navigate, and charging cables introduce new obstacles.
The key to maintaining a safe, efficient garage is optimising movement, minimising the need for complex, risky manoeuvres. And that’s exactly where a Spinsy turntable transforms the experience.
- Rotate safely: Spinsy enables smooth parking and exiting without awkward reversing or multiple corrections.
- Protect your EV charger: Reducing movement around fixed cables helps preserve your setup and extends the life of your charger.
- Save time: Spinsy cuts daily parking time drastically, helping you get in and out faster, without sacrificing safety.
Space is becoming a premium asset in modern homes, and Spinsy ensures that no centimetre is wasted, keeping your garage smart, practical, and EV-ready.
Integrating Spinsy with smart home apps and EV systems
Smart homes are becoming the new normal and smart garages are following close behind. Your EV deserves a garage that’s as intelligent as the car it houses.
Spinsy doesn’t directly integrate with EV apps (yet), but it fits seamlessly into broader smart home ecosystems, helping you build a smooth, coordinated parking and charging routine.
- Remote control charging: Use your EV’s app to manage charging times and take advantage of off-peak energy rates.
- Smart garage flow: Pair Spinsy’s manual use with timed garage door openings, lights, and even voice assistant notifications for a connected experience.
- Automation flexibility: Spinsy can be part of a broader system where movement, charging, and security work together.
Your garage should be an extension of your home’s intelligence, not a relic of the past. With Spinsy, even everyday parking gets smarter.
Real-world example: smarter parking, smarter charging
Across Australia, EV owners are experiencing the real-world difference a smart garage setup can make.
Before adding smart solutions like Spinsy, tight driveways, reversing struggles, and tangled charger cables were daily frustrations, adding stress to an experience meant to simplify life.
After integrating smart moves:
- Head-in parking becomes easy, no stress about scraping mirrors or squeezing between obstacles.
- Charging cables stay organised and protected, avoiding unnecessary repairs or replacements.
- Departure times are faster and safer, making busy mornings much easier.
It’s not just about installing a charger it’s about making the entire charging and parking experience seamless, and Spinsy is proving to be the practical missing link for many EV homeowners.
