I don't see an issue with 40 feet on 10 gauge for 120v input. Monitor for heat but I don't think you'll have an issue on a 15A circuit.

We used to run #10 on even a 20 amp breaker 40 ft. to the kitchen & laundry Rooms on many homes. NO problem .....

10g is some substantial cable. Is that what these chargers run on the DC output side? I don't have access to mine, it's at the campground.
