Is 12/3 awg extension cord okay to use?

I want to set up my backup quick220 setup. I'm looking at this website:

http://www.customavrack.com/Products/1022-nema-rated-l6-20p-to-l6-20r-locking-extension-power-cables.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I'm looking at 50 feet. Will that work?

I don't know about that set-up, but in my case, FWIW, for the first three months of LEAF ownership, I charged on 120V with a 50-feet 12-gauge 3 conductor extension cord, leaving it & the EVSE permanently plugged in, to no ill effects.
