Home charger location

[Scratch]

I have a similar experience; never used our garage in sixteen years. Narrow and full of 'stuff'. I had our Zappi charger installed inside the garage, so as not to spoil the look!
The cable runs underneath the up & over door (a neighbour helped chisel out a one inch deep channel in the tarmac) so the car can get charged with the door shut. Our solar panels provide most of my charging to date.

I did think about the chiselling scenario. Might be a last resort.

Personally, I would think about cutting a slot into the garage door and adding a rubber Weather seal of some sort rather than channel the drive. It would be a lot less costly to reverse the action.

Ours is a metal door. I did look at that but dismissed it as too messy.

The slot/channel I cut is purely in tarmac. Our drive rises approx. 10 inches to the garage floor level, over a distance of about three feet. I know from experience with our communal drive, off the public road, that bags of home user tarmac are available. I've used one to repair the communal drive. Very easy to do.

Our car is usually outside during the the summer months and in the garage from November through end of March. I am planning to have the charger just inside the garage door next to where the power comes in. I plan on running the cable under the garage door during the summer months to charge, since that half of the garage is full of gardening stuff from April onwards.
