You will have to check with the local electrical inspector for a ruling on the distance. Different countries have their own regulations on this. It all has to do with the amount of un-fused conductor that jurisdictions allow inside the house before the first over current device. This is usually the distribution panel's main breaker. Any short circuit in the mast head stack could run into the tens of thousands of amps as the only protection will be the utility transformer's primary fuse. The utility company has a habit of over fusing their Transformers, some times by 300 to 400%. This is done to stop nuisance tripping.
For that distance I would run AWG # 3 copper and install a sub-panel.
In the CEC (Canadian Electrical Code) the code states that from the outside meter base to the first over current device that, the run can be no longer than 20 feet.
Depends on the size of the sub-panel in that garage. If you are installing a 60 amp sub-panel 400 feet away from the main service panel then use AWG # 4.

There is no specific distance specified in the code book. The meter stack has to be on the outside of the building and some times this means bringing it through the eave end of the roof line. The connection point has to be 15 feet high as a minimum. The utility meter has to be at head height on the outside wall for the meter reader to see and read it. On the lower end of the meter stack is the electrical panel. As you can see the distances will change in every circumstance depending on where the electrical panel is placed. The electrical panel can not be placed any further in the building from the outside wall than ten feet.

The kick panels are the things next to your feet on the outside of the car when you are sitting in the front seat.

AWG 2/0 copper.
Kick panels are located down where your feet are sitting in the front seats along the sides toward the outside. If you are driving, your left foot would kick the panel, if you are a passenger, your right foot would kick the panel.
This is one of those questions that has a lot of answers! In a residence I would want it as short as possible, however you can legally run it 10 feet, if you use steel flex or metallic liquid tite in your raceway system the maximum length of the flex can only be 6 feet with the remaining 4 feet of conduit. Inspectors in some areas like for the service panel located in the first stud bay available nearest the service entrance, this usually keeps the conduit and wire length to a minimum.
For a 100 amp main panel located 100 feet away, it is recommended to use a 2/0 copper or 4/0 aluminum service cable to ensure proper voltage drop and capacity for the distance. Consult with a licensed electrician to determine the specific requirements based on local codes and conditions.
it is the plastic panel to the left of your feet on the drivers side and to right side of your feet on the passengerside.
The minimum ceiling height for a room where the main service panel is located is typically required to be at least 6 feet 8 inches (80 inches) in most jurisdictions, according to the National Electrical Code (NEC). This height ensures safe access and adequate working space around the panel. Additionally, there should be a clear working space of at least 3 feet in front of the panel for safe operation and maintenance. Always check local codes, as they may have specific requirements.
