True. I was exaggerating a little. I'd never use a $20 16 gauge Harbor Freight extension cord for anything important, especially if it's over 2 meters long.

It was a great point, though. And, my pedantry aside, having your car - which bring all the benefits of an EV - be a decent electrical backup system and replace a standalone inverter generator (at least $1k, and you'd have to buy appropriate extension cords, anyway) or a whole-home standby (at least $15k) is an exciting prospect and great solution for a really large number of US households.
