Frequently Asked Questions About EV Charger Extension Cables


Is it Ok to use an extension cord for an EV Charger?
Safety experts strongly advise against using extension cords to charge electric vehicles at home due to significant safety risks. Most extension cords are not designed to handle the high, continuous current required for EV charging over long periods, which can lead to overheating and potential hazards. Cables.com's EV Extension Cords for Chargers are Safe, Durable and Weather Resistant.

 

What is the Best EV cord for charging?
The Gauge of the cord is important. Choose a heavy-duty extension cord with a gauge that matches the power demands of your EV charger. Lower gauge numbers indicate thicker wires and greater capacity. For Level 1 charging (120 volts), a 12-gauge cord is suitable, while Level 2 charging (240 volts) typically requires a 10-gauge cord or thicker.

 

Can I leave my EV charging cable plugged in?
In most cases, keeping your EV plugged in is not harmful. However, to preserve battery health and extend its lifespan, it's essential to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for charging and storage.

 

Does the length of EV charging cable affect charging time?
Longer cables have higher resistance, which can result in power loss or voltage drop along the wire. This may reduce charging rates, causing devices to charge more slowly. Shorter cables are generally more efficient as they offer less resistance to the flow of electricity.
