Let me preface this- I bought this extension cable for "in a pinch" situations not for daily use.
2 weeks ago we booked a stay at a hotel in Orlando for my sons birthday, I specifically book hotels with EV chargers so don't have to fuss with charging off site. I pulled up and both chargers were occupied but the parking spot next to one of them was open. I figured I'd park there and keep an eye from my window to see when one of the cars left. Well, both vehicles were left overnight and one was even unplugged after its charge cycle. Although this charge point charger had extra long cables there was no way for me to get it to my truck in the adjacent spot. Had I had this extension I could have plugged in after they unplugged and left their vehicle parked in the way.
That being said. I ordered the J1772 extension cable after our trip and have attempted to use it on my Emporia Level 2 Charger to test it out. Every time I plug in it just says "Charging Paused". Has anyone else ever used one of these cables and if so what did you do to get it to work correctly? I tried plugging in at the truck first and then the extension to the charger with no luck. Then tried plugging in the extension to my charger and then the truck Still no luck.
Like I said, I'm not fond of the extension but in certain situations like I described it could have saved me a headache and waiting....
