1. You can't extend a cable, as the International Electrotechnical Commission standard is clear on the matter; “A cord extension set or second cable assembly shall not be used in addition to the cable assembly for the connection of the EV to EVSE.”. So any EV extension cable will sit outside of the standards and may effect your vehicle.

  2. IEC 62196-2 Type 2 charging cables are specifically designed so that daisy chaining or using them as extension leads is not possible. The connectors are configured with one vehicle-side plug and one charger-side connector, meaning two cables cannot physically be connected together. This design is intentional and forms part of the safety requirements of the standard, ensuring a safe direct connection between the charging point and the vehicle only.
