God, you’re right...I do have a dryer, so all I have to do is run a long, long, long extension cord from my dryer outlet to my garage and plug it in or out depending if I have to dry some clothes...I’m glad there are experts like you to inform the rest of us!

A long extension cord pulling 220 at high amps. Well you might want to see how hot that cord is going to get.

Not only that but the dryer is on the second floor........preliminary measurement is 75 - 100 feet, depending on how I snake it along the upstairs hallway, down the first flight of stairs and the second and then across the garage floor to where the Virtuous Volt (as compared to the Pious Prius) would be parked....OTOH, I can snake it along the upstairs hallway through the second story bathroom and drop it to the ground and run it through the front garden to the outside garage door - leaving it open a crack - and then to the garage floor......man, this is proving to be more complicated than I thought.....how long to they make 220 extension cords anyhow?...this may present a “trip & fall” hazard for my 87 year old mom but hey, we must save the world, right?
