FYI.... wire isn't rated for 110v or 220v.... it's rated in amperage.... all THHN cable can take either 110 or 220, but you need to ensure you have a cable high enough to take the amperage required.

that being said, I wouldn't use home wiring in a car, ever. THHN is about as "fine" stranded as it comes, and anyone who has worked with it before knows that it's pretty stiff still... in a car, this can end up causing problems as things move all the time -- causing broken wires, broken connectors, etc.

Do it right and use some fine stranded 2 or 4 gauge automotive cable. Many car shops will sell it by the foot for about $2-3 per foot, not as cheap as home wire, but for reason.
