I would recommend getting a low-gauge (iirc 10 or 12 gauge, 25ft max) extension cord. You can't always park this close to places you are staying.

I will repeat again, 10 or 12 gauge, 25ft max. Do NOT use a higher gauge and be careful with longer cords unless it's really high quality. You get what you pay for.

The range plug is 40A, need #8 minimum for that

I didn't realize you were L2 charging lmfao. Usually I just L1 from a 120v when I'm on vacation. If you're rich, and can afford a nice #8, that'd be pretty sick.
