Sorry, ERA Chas, but the laws of physics say otherwise. The longer the cable, the greater the electrical resistance--which produces heat and reduces efficiency (e.g., a decrease in current). You can compensate a bit by using a bigger, thicker cable, but that results in increased weight and higher cost for the cable.
Everything's a trade-off. What may be an advantage for one person may prove to be a disadvantage for another.
