EV owners! Is anyone successfully charging a J1772 electric vehicle off a 110v outlet that is ~30ft from the car?
I have a friend who wants to be able to charge her 2024 Kia Sportage PHEV off a regular 110v outlet at her house (no GFI), but their parking is too far from the outlet for their current plug-in cable to reach. I'm trying to help her find a solution since she's underwater with kids & holidays... (NB: I don't know diddly about EV charging, I just have more free time than she does, so I offered to try to find her a solution - ideally one that won't burn her house down.)
My initial thought was that she needs a 25-30ft Level 1 J1772 plug-in cable, but of course it's not that simple.
Looks like there are a variety of charger extension cables, but most are L2 / require an adapter to use a 110v outlet, which seems like it'd add a point of resistance / potential heat buildup, and very few are UL listed.
If anyone is doing this successfully, I'd love to know your solution!
