Title says it. I have one outside outlet at the half of the duplex I rent, and it's at the back of the house down a 20 yard driveway. If I plug directly into the outlet, the evse works fine, but then the landlord can't plow the driveway since my car is parked in back.
So I decided to buy a heavy duty 100' outside extension cord so I can park at the top of the driveway. This worked intermittently last winter. Now, when plugged in to it, the evse blinks ready (ground fault?) and will not charge the car. I tried a different outside extension cord we use for holiday decorations just as a test and got the same result.
Is there any reason why the evse wouldn't work while using a 3-prong extension cord? Once it starts snowing I'm going to get stuck at the bottom of the sloped driveway.
Thank you in advance.
