If you calculate the resistance of the cords and the heat it would produce, you might be pleasantly surprised. A 25 ft 14AWG cord only produce (and waste) about 13.5 Watt at 15 amps. That about half watt per foot. The problem is the loose contact.

So where can I buy "one with the 6-20P and 5-15R, connected with the short length of 10ga wires" or you actually mean I need to make one on my own?

Yes that's exactly my concern. And the quality/build of the adapter determines how robust the 6 connections would be, during the daily use. Mainly, how tight the fit is and how long it will last. The main issue of those travel adapters is they have too many holes to accommodate different type of...

Seems a lot of people have been buying end of model year cars............Wonder how much the difference between a 2020 and 2021 should be right now? Is $3K difference for a touring too small to pull the trigger?

I am also debating it. So if I keep it for more than 3 years, I guess it wouldn't matter much? I think 1 year old vs 2 year old is a big difference. But no one really cares about 4 yrs vs 5 yrs? I usually keep cars for long time but might treat EV differently due to the tax benefit and batter life.

Is it worth buying? I am afraid dealer would not charge the battery properly for a year. It's black exterior which we don't like. But $2500 cheaper than 2021. Can anyone comment on the paint and clear coat for Clarity? I have an 2004 Honda Accord Coupe EXL. It's almost perfect except for the...
