This doesn’t seem to apply to 110v what what I’ve been able to tell, unless they are adding an extension cord.
But level 2 or DC chargers appear to have a requirement of about 3-6 feet. Why is this?
What is the importance of the length of cable?
In: Technology
Running electricity over a cable always drops the voltage at the end, but a fat cable can help keep the loss down. This is why we have various thicknesses of extension cables and lengths. You might be able to run 15 feet with a thinner cable to power your table saw, but you need a thicker cable to run 50 feet so you’re not under voltage.
The same would apply to car chargers, which are pushing a lot more electricity than your 110V extension cord is. .
