I'm new here and thought I might find a discussion on this topic, but I've not seen one. I have a 2026 Ioniq 5 and of course the charging port is on the rear passenger side. Tesla has the port on the driver's side. When charging at a Tesla fast charge station the short length of the cable on the charger requires that you take up 2 slots (1.5 more accurately, but I've yet to see half a Tesla). This works if the site isn't busy, otherwise it's a problem. I see that there are aftermarket extensions available, although expensive. I called my dealership and was informed that these are not approved for Hyundai and would void the warranty if used. I was also told that Hyundai does not have an approved extension cable. Has anyone else struggled with this issue? Thanks

I know the cables on some DCFC charging stations are water-cooled. I don't know how a DCFC extension cable could handle much current without burning up.
Nearly 3 years ago @Fastnf posted a link to the only Supercharger extension cable of any kind I've ever seen. Offered by EVBASE, they're not inexpensive: $629 for a 5-foot extension and $729 for an 8-footer. Have you seen competitors? If you get one, please tell us how well it works.
