Charging with an extension cord

[Ducan07]

I have a Camco PowerGrip 30-Amp RV extension cord and I use it plus the RV-issued power cable for a total of 75 feet. Using 20 AMP power from their house and have noticed no difference using this setup versus a 25 ft power cable when camping. No difference in power pulls over 75 ft and 25, using these extensions.

Any update if Broken Bow has added any fast charging stations? From checking I only see 7KWH or 9KWH free charging area's. Sadly, the Chickasaw Nation welcome centers with EV charging that have 50KWH charging are all out of the way to Broken Bow if coming from DFW.

Thanks

Just chiming in for fun - I use an "EP" 10AWG 25 foot extension cord without issue on 120V.

Just returned from a weekend trip to Broken Bow. Saw a total of 5 EVs all of which were Tesla's at the rental cabins via AirBnB which had chargers. My advice would be to take your second car. We were a group of 4 familes and 3 of us all owned EVs but we took our second cars which were all SUV's as to lack infrasture. in the area. Also the roads degrade to stones.
