Garage Lighting + EV charger help needed
Hey Guys,
I am looking to upgrade the lighting in a 2 car, 440sqft garage. Ideally, I would like to use 6" cans for the flush look and because I have a low ceiling (9ft). I'm on the fence on how many cans I would need and so far leaning towards at least 8 of them. Too little? Maybe a combo of cans + troffers? The workbench will get it's own 4ft tube light.
On the subject of future EV charging, I am learning that today's chargers are using 40amps and tomorrow's charger @ 80amp (skipping 60amps altogether). Does this sound about right?
Thanks in advance.

I would highly recommend going with LED lighting for the garage vs cans, much more efficient .
Check eBay, they make 4' and 8' strip lights that are refereed as cooler lighting, a strip light in a low profile fixture vs a more common florescent tube type.
