How long is the charging cable that comes with an electric car?

I’m buying my EV next week, and I’ve heard it comes with a charger. My outlet is in a weird spot in my garage, so I’m concerned about how to charge it before I get my level 2 charger installed. How long is the cord that comes with an electric car?

Congratulations in advance on your purchase! Great question, the level charger that comes with your electric car will probably be about 25 feet, which should hopefully provide enough length to charge your EV.
EVs typically come with their own level 1 charger that plugs directly into a household 120-v outlet. While you wait to upgrade and install the level 2 charger, the 25-foot cable should have enough length to charge your car with some extra slack in the cable.
