This is clearly something Honda frowns upon for 110v charging.
One of several such warnings:
Clearly, the “Most Conservative Action” is to adhere to such warnings, and I’m not suggesting otherwise.
But if the extension cord is of high quality and sufficient wire size (12 ga?), I’m not sure how it’s fundamentally different from the same sized ROMEX that carries current to remote outlets anyway.
I can imagine lots of scenarios where Honda’s charging cable would literally come up short, mainly at friend’s homes while traveling.
Any thoughts on this? I did do a search, but didn’t come up with any discussions specific to this topic.
