I have a few things to sort out with regard to garaging my i3 (when it arrives).
My situation is that I have a garage with power, and can easily have my rapid charger mounted on the wall, inside or out. The garage is currently occupied by a Sierra Cosworth, which is not currently running but I do plan to get it running, and a Triumph Tiger bike. Getting the Cossie into the garage and allowing space for the bike alongside is possible, but requires a fair amount of manoevering.
My original plan was to keep the i3 on the drive, like my current Clio. However, we have pigeons in the trees of the drive, and their droppings pose a sure hazard to paintwork. So I came up with plan B - a temporary garage structure on the drive. However, the drive is not generally level, and so this would have to be about 5 metres from the garage, which is longer than the 4 metre cable for the BMW Wallbox, which I've ordered.
So - my question is - can the cable be extended, and by how much?
