 EV charging - Crankcase
If you are ever going to put in a charger, the prices are only going one way. I got mine for free as an incentive when I got my Zoe in 2013. Today, putting one in would be about £1000, especially if you pick one of the clever ones that can deal with solar inputs etc.

My free one I now use on my Superb, so it’s not as if it’s not used.

Charging on an extension cable can be fine. If you have a sensible extension lead, fully unwound, and not 1940s sockets to plug it into, lots of people use that and nothing else for thousands of miles of motoring.

But exposing the socket on the lead to the weather, probably not so clever.

I use my granny lead perhaps once a week when visiting, but never in the rain, and always under a cover even then.

To be fair, the granny lead bit that comes with the car says it’s fully waterproof and it’s fine.
