Of course it will. If he uses 30A mains cable the voltage drop in the cable becomes 7.4 milliOhms per meter, so the total voltage drop will beThat won't help. It's exactly equivalent to what OP has, which isn't working.These

(or the micro-USB version depending on what Pi you have)
and some much thicker cable.
V = I × R ≈ 1.5 A × 74mΩ x 2 ≈ 0.24 V lost
A large capacitor on the terminals at the far end will also help handle surges.
