I want to go on a 500 mile trip in an electric car. The car's motor
draws 42 amps at 120 Volts AC. Therefore I will need 500 miles of
extension cords. I'm aware that long cords cause a voltage drop, so the
cord needs to be a thicker gauge of wire, since the voltage needs to
remain constant.

Here's one for all you mathematicians.
What gauge wire do I need?

Once that is determined, what size enclosure do I need to hold all that
wire, and what is the weight of the wire.

Note: This wire must have a strong insulation, because other drivers may
drive on it, and driving over any wire with weak insulation, will cause
severe momentary voltage drops as the wire is compressed, and many
electrons will be killed in the process. And dead electrons entering an
electric motor can be fatal to the motor, as well as clogging the
motor's electron filter.

Step up the voltage at the source, and put a step down transformer in
your car. The additional weight of the transformer will be offset by the
weight saved in wire. If you step the voltage up high enough, and if
Tesla was correct, you may not need any wire at all.

He should step up the voltage as high as absolutely possible and then
test the source with his tongue.

Ah, but you only need a 250 mile cord.

Get halfway, stop, run the cord to the next outlet,
and then start up again
