Showerthought: That fancy $60 charging cable was a total waste

Bought a braided, reinforced USB-C cable for my EV's level 1 charger last month because I thought the cheap ones would fry. Spent $60 on it, and it works exactly the same as the $8 one my buddy uses. Has anyone else fallen for the premium cable marketing trap?
