How small exactly? You could probably get by with 14ga cord for 50 ft, but you really should have a 12ga cord to be safe. If this is a small 16ga cord or something then that would be a definite fire hazard. Still, if you melted the cord you need to replace both ends to be safe. This is not something to take lightly because I know for a fact that more than one owner has burned their house down using too small of a cord to charge their GEM, and this is user error, not a vehicle defect.

We usually use a 15 Amp 15 ft cord but were out and had to plug it into a plug further away ----- Original Message ----- From: Al Lumas To: NEVs@yahoogroups. com Sent: Saturday, July 04, 2009 3:24 PM Subject: Re: [NEVs] Plug At 12:07 PM 7/4/2009, phillipa1946 wrote: When I unplugged the extension cord from the charger plug on of etension cord's plug jole had melted anone have any ideas.
