Hello there!
While I await delivery of my Model Y, I have been doing some research into home chargers. I rent an apartment, so I cannot mount a regular Tesla wall charger, but the apartment has a courtyard pretty close to where I park, and I can run the cable through there. However, I don't think that the 6m length of the official Tesla UMC will be sufficient.
I have seen that EVSE has a portable charger for Tesla with a 10m cable, which should be ok, but it's only rated for 8A. This is the only one I have been able to find that has a length of greater than 5 or 6 meters. Does anyone know how I can charge my car from a standard Aussie 10A wall socket that is 10 meters away from the car? I am a bit concerned by all the "do not use extension cables to charge your EV!" warnings on all the chargers! Some people have said that a heavy duty trade quality extension cable will be fine as long as it's not coiled.
Any help appreciated!
