Why Arizona Garages with EV Chargers Need Air Conditioning

At Sapper HVAC, a proud Veteran-Owned and Operated company, we know Arizona’s blistering heat all too well. If you’ve made the switch to an electric vehicle (EV) and installed a Level 2 EV charging station in your garage, keeping that space cool is more important than you might think.

With EVs gaining popularity, maintaining an optimal garage temperature is key to ensuring efficient, safe, and reliable charging for your electric vehicle. In this blog, we’ll dive into why Arizona homeowners should consider air conditioning their garages for EV chargers and how it can enhance your vehicle’s performance and charging experience.

Arizona’s relentless summer heat doesn’t spare your garage—or your EV charger. Here’s why cooling your garage is a game-changer for EV owners:

  • Boost Charging Efficiency: EV chargers work best within a specific temperature range. Extreme heat can slow charging speeds and even damage the charger over time. A cool garage keeps your charger running smoothly.

  • Protect Battery Life: High temperatures can take a toll on your EV’s battery health. A cooler garage helps preserve your battery’s longevity, saving you costly replacements down the road.

  • Enhance Safety: Overheated chargers can pose safety risks, including potential fire hazards. Keeping your garage cool reduces these risks, giving you peace of mind.

Can EV Chargers Overheat?

Absolutely, and Arizona’s sweltering garages don’t help! When temperatures soar, EV chargers struggle to dissipate the heat generated during charging, which can lead to overheating issues. The solution? Air conditioning!

Installing a ductless mini-split or extending AC ducts to your garage can maintain a comfortable temperature, even during Arizona’s hottest days. This ensures your charger operates at peak performance for faster, safer charging. Ductless mini-splits are an ideal choice for garages—they’re easy to install, energy-efficient, and provide both cooling and heating for year-round comfort.
