We are getting our leaf tomorrow! WOOOOOO! But a thought occurred today, a scary one.
Our home doesn't have a garage, but a small carport. Our issue is that its very hard to squeeze a car into it, meaning we usually just leave our cars in the driveway since you would have to climb out of the trunk to get out of the car.
We get pretty rainy weather here during the winter months which are quickly approaching. We have a small well house to the left of where we park the cars that is safely sealed, and is where the old washer and dryer were located prior to renovating the house. We have our plug in safely inside and a safe place for the "base" of the charger.
This being said, will it be safe to run the cord and plug in the charger exposed to the elements? Or will we have to figure something else out, or look for another vehicle. Our nissan dealer literally has no clue about the leaf, as I was jokingly offered half the commission based on me having knowledge of the car other then how to start it so when I asked them this today they simply had no answer for me.
Thanks in advance!
