So I'm currently considering buying an Ampera, they've started to fall into my price bracket at reasonable mileage (50-60k).
My issue is the parking where I live is a private space at the foot of my garden, the nearest plug socket is at the back of the house about 20ft from where the car will be. I don't have the option to put a home charger outside, the entire rear wall of the house is covered by a conservatory and the garden is surrounded by wood fencing so there would be nothing to mount a charging box to.
My question is can I run an extension lead the length of my garden to reliably charge? How long is the lead that comes with the Ampera? We have a waterproof 'store' at the end of the garden which could house the reel part of the extension lead to keep it from getting wet, I'm just no sure whether this is a viable solution?
Any help appreciated, thanks
