Hello
I have found a 2013 Leaf SL with about 20,000 miles. It is a also certified pre-owned by Nissan and priced well so I am sure it won't last long. I was thinking of getting it this weekend possibly. I have one major hurdle (or maybe not), that's why I come to you guys for your experience. I live in a condo but have a garage and my own driveway. I cannot fit the car in the garage because of motorcycles in there. I was thinking of simply running the trickle charger and close the garage door on the cord. Two things worry me, first is to pinch the cable with my garage door. Second I have two outlets in my garage, the only wall outlets are pretty much at the furthest point from the driveway, and the second is on the ceiling where the garage door is plugged in. To get the cable close enough I could use an extension cord or use the garage door outlet. What about closing the garage door on the cable? Any worries?
I hope to be able to get the leaf and join you guys on the electric journey.
Thank you very much
