    Do I need a CCS cable for rapid charging?

    All rapid chargers come with their own cable.. but some are Chademo only so just check... With regards to rapid charging from your type 2...it is possible but the MG can only accept 6.9kW charging so rapid charging even if you charge it from , say, a 40kW rapid charger with your type 2 then you...

    My first 1000 EV miles of steep learning...

    You will get used to it .. it is a slight change of thought process... always planning journies around charging stations if on longer trips... best advise i can give is plan to stop with around 30 miles left in range..that way if you stop at a charger which is out of action then you have enough...

    Most Charger leads are suitable for outside environments.. I would though avoid them sitting in puddles for days... Not sure if you already have a charger but you can can 'tethered' charging units which have the lead permanently fixed to the charger
