Not that I've ever used an integral garage to store a car in (rather
than using it as a lockup).


In that case, mount the charger box on the house near where you'd park the
car. If you're not storing the car in or near the garage, there's no
dependency on supplying power to the garage. The charger is waterproof and
it's intended to go outside.


The people I bought my current house form had a Leaf. The garage is
separate from the house so they had the charger mounted on the wall of
the house, right next to the meter cupboard, so minimal extra cabling
needed. I don't think the Leaf would have got through the garage door
anyway!
