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
Along with current drop as others mentioned, customers would be tempted to leave a longer cable coiled under the vehicle. The natural resistance of cable produces heat and when coiled that heat becomes trapped and can easily set fire to insulation. This is a very common problem with cable reels and electric hook ups on camp sites especially in countries with 240v supplies where a 13 amp connection is fully loaded.
