How is a 12/3 not UL listed? I couldn't find the UL listing at the very least. Maybe it does exist? But that means something with higher gauges/ current.

You're playing with fire my friend.

ETL and UL are both part of Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories which are required to follow the same testing procedures and maintain identical standards . ETL is the cheaper and faster way for manufactures to get a certified. UL has certain prestige but it's a slower process and more expensive to get. Big established brands in US go with UL, elsewhere you'll see ETL or other NRTL's.

Great price. I had to buy one of these from home depot when I rented a Tesla in Florida. Charging cable was a little too short to plug into the outlet at the condo. 12/3 is the minimum gauge for an electric car if you were wondering.
I know what the "12" means, what does the "/3" mean?

Three conductor aka a hot, neutral and ground in this scenario.

I believe it just means 3 wire. Power, ground, neutral, but I can be wrong

Can this be used in 220V? If so, does Amp rating stay the same?
I'm scared to ask what you're doing. This has 120v receptacle and plug. You would have to replace both ends for 220/240v. Just buy a real 240v extension cord.

Amperage capacity is technically the same at 120v or 240v on a given wire size.

That's the number of conductors. If it shows /2 it doesn't have the ground. In this case the /3 means it's 3 prong (or with ground)

Just to add to the 12/3 question and explanation. 12/3 in extension cords is 3 wires, but 12/3 or similar in "romex" is actually 4 wires.

Only use a high grade 100% copper extension cord of the lowest gauge (thickest wire) you can find, and the shortest length necessary.

Pulling high current over long distances through narrow cross section high resistance conduits causes a lot of loss…possibly 100W+ plus on 1500, depending.

Aluminum and copper clad aluminum have higher notably higher resistance and higher material fatigue (bends before breaking/fraying). They run hotter, be less durable, and cost you more money ever second they run.

The copper will save you money, be better for the environment, run cooler (less fire risk), and last far longer. The detriment is they're relatively heavy, and relatively expensive.

How do you know which is which? For instance, I don't see that this RIDGID one says what the conductors are made of.

Not quite a good enough deal to get the impulse buy from me.
Just got the 25' 14 gauge Firman cords $8 at Sport'sman's Warehouse
and the 25' 12 gauge Southwire on clearance $6 at my local HomeDepot

Every vehicle OEM and EVSE manufacturer will say don't use extension cords.. This will be fine at 25 feet. Keep your amps at 12 or less. If any part gets hot to the touch, which would likely be the connections, lower the charge rate.

If it's all copper it will say. South wire has some nice all copper extension cords.

I believe 50' should run around $85-$100 as a reference for a high quality all copper 12 gauge 3 wire extension cord.

That was a good deal. Any link to the product so others can check their stores?
