Hello, I have found a Leaf I wish to purchase, but I have an old home with a detached garage and want to be sure I have the ability to charge it safely and reliably. I have an electrician coming out today to look things over. I know nothing about electricity so I am hoping someone here can ensure I ask the right questions! Here is some possibly relevant info:
The garage has an available 110 outlet but I am not sure if it is grounded or suitable for the trickle charge.
The back of our house has what looks to be a 6-20 outlet (previous owner had a hot tub). It is a covered outlet about 20ish feet from the garage. Perhaps this could be converted to a Level 2 outlet with some sort of extension cord to the garage?
