    The EV charger cord is not long enough, can you extend it yourself with a 15-meter cable? If the wire is not long enough, it can be lengthened, but there must be enough wire diameter to ensure the amount of current and prevent the heating of the wire from causing disasters due to overload.

    Yes, but you must extend the 220 power cord, which can be fully sufficient with one square copper wire. If the loss of the extended DC output line is large, the long-term calculation is also an expense.

    If the power cord of the electric vehicle charger is not long enough, the wire can be extended by 15 meters, but the wire diameter must be above the square, and the voltage drop generated by the thin wire is easy to overheat.

    You can lengthen the charging cable by yourself, for the sake of safety, it is best to lengthen the wire core of more than 1 square with a socket with a fuse, the wire skin is wear-resistant, to prevent leakage from often retracting and discharging the skin.

    If only a dozen meters of wire is connected, it can be lengthened at the output end, and the voltage drop is not very large. Of course, it is best to wire at the input end, and the voltage drop is negligible.

    It's best not to lengthen it yourself, you can pull a socket strip, and then use the socket strip when charging.

    It can be lengthened, but only the high-voltage end can be added, because the high-voltage end current is small and has little impact.

    Of course, this is possible, but the wire should not be too thin, at least more than squared.

    It is best not to be too long, as there will be a voltage drop and at the same time there is a safety hazard.

    First, add fine hemp rope next to the wire and fix it with a strap every 30 to prevent the wire from extending, and second, pay attention to charging safety, and remove the charging long wire in time when the battery is saturated, but this operation does not meet the fire safety regulations, and it should be safe.

    If the length of the charging cable should not be too long more than 15 meters, the resistance will be very large, which will increase your charging energy consumption, and the charging speed will also decrease.

    A square copper wire is eight meters long under normal circumstances, and of course it can be charged to an electric vehicle. In the process of using a square line, he mainly looks at whether the eight meters of the charging electric vehicle is long enough, but in the process of walking, it should also be noted that a square copper wire is enough for the electric car to be used. There is shedding, otherwise it is very safe, and it is not safe to do so.

    The current at the low-voltage end of the battery car is relatively large, and the wire is too long to affect the size of the charging current, that is, to extend the charging time. Flexible conductors with a slightly larger cross-sectional area can be selected.

    During the use of the electric vehicle charger, pay attention to heat dissipation, especially in summer, and do not use it in a place with high temperature. Generally speaking, the charging time is about 7-8 hours, depending on the state of the battery.

    OK. The charger of electric vehicles should not only pay attention to shockproof and waterproof, but also pay attention to ensure ventilation, and the extension of the input line has little impact on the charger. If the length of the charger output line is too long, the charging time will be extended or the battery cannot be fully charged, resulting in a shorter mileage of the electric vehicle, and even a shorter battery life.
