Can you extend a charger through a wall with adapters?
Discussion
So I have an oak garage , car port to the right and inside parking bays.
I’m not sure where I want to park when the car arrives so can I put the charger inside on the timber frame wall, then use male female adapters to run that in the wall so that I have a female Type 2 charger socket in the car point ?
To use the car port I would plug the charger in the socket inside then plug in the car. Is this possible ?

Something like that “could” be a better solution, but I think you can get 10 meter cables on chargers so I’m not sure you would need it.
I've never seen it and in general, with this sorts of power, it is always advised against if you can avoid it. The best I can suggest is getting a socketed charger and fitting a 10m cable to it (or a tethered charger with a 10m cable of course), which is the longest we typically see. Bear in mind that even a 10m is quite a heavy thing.
Each connection is going to make it less reliable and slightly more iffy so as the others have said, try to minimise it.
I built my own EVSE (i.e. charger) and made up a small kit of adapters so I could find power (this was over a decade ago).
Even with heavy duty cabling - I went with 2.5mm cable even though it was only going to run at 2.4kW - and commando connectors the connections could get warm after a ten hour charging session.
