Tesla Motors Club
As I prepare for my first Tesla, one of the things I'm researching is putting together a little charging "extension" kit in the event I am somewhere and need extra length to charge off a regular outlet inside/outside. Basically, looking for options if I take a road trip and stay at an AirBnB without a EV charging option.
I work in the film industry and we often using cables known as "stingers". They're a bit more heavy duty than what you normally pickup in a hardware store. I've been seeing that I should be looking for 12AWG cords and and I found one that is listed as 12/3 so I assume this will be fine? Here's the link: Filmtools Stinger 12/3 SJO Cable (Extension Cord) - 25'
Anyone with past similar travel charging experiences care to educate me if I'm off base?
Finally, I currently live in an apartment but there is a regular 120 volt outlet in my garage that has one port powering the garage door motor. Would I be able to use the 2nd outlet to charge my car at night, or would the load be too much?
Thanks in advance for any insight the TMC-hive mind has.
