Allow me to better rephrase what I previously said to be more technically accurate! An extended cord proper to the vehicle attached to the recommended charging unit!

The purpose of putting the car in the garage, assuming it is attached to the house, is better convenience for recharge when compared to charging outside and assuming the worst case scenario, you have a winter storm and need to dig out the extended cord so as not to run over it with the snow blower!

Again, convenience and being practical about the real life aspects of this.
