On page 205 of the Ford Owners manual for my 2013 Energi. It says," do not use an extension cord". When charging the High voltage battery. With the 120 V convenience cord.
The only way to charge my Energi.today. Short of some sort of solar power generator, is to use one.The set up is from a dedicated outlet. At my back door. @25 feet. Along a commercial grade,3 prong, internally grounded extension cord. With new end connections. Out to the convenience cord. Not much of a voltage drop at all.
Has been working well. Just happened to read the "no extension cord" provision.In the owners manual the other day. And am wondering what risk I take using it,today. And,,, what risk management factors should be considered? If any. Thanks for your time. Regards, Bob
