The one I got in the store said 105C on the cord. It's only 16ga. That calculates to only 1.5V drop over the 22ft I needed (so ~12watts "lost" to heating my garage). Then I feed it with a 10ft 14ga cord in my garage. If you go this route, be careful along the door channel. The cord doesn't fit in the wire harness holder, its too tight. I ran outside the holders. It looks easy to accidently pierce the cable on the Prius' metal clips when punching down the trim.
