I've always been going on aliexpress for cable caddy bags, but this is a good shout! :)

I mean arctic is really too flimsy for these applications, hence the H07RN-F, but I do like the picture of the unruly cable being like training a snake haha!

Using one of these cable carry bags was my initial idea, actually... but the problem is the moment you take the cable out it starts to have a mind of its own! 😭

shhhhhhhhh I might! Will mean I can charge on at least 75% of my street, once you include granny charger options (I have 2x 30m Masterplug reels of 1.25mm arctic flex from Costco, which while not ideal, do the job at 10 amps). On facebook people were (per usual) panicking about fire risks, but...

For lamp post charging on Ubitricity... each car in the way is roughly 5m extra, so I can now be 5 cars away from lamp post. :)

that's a potentially good shout! I would think the caravan CEE connectors are a bit smaller than Type 2 EV Plugs, but this might work. Only question is if you are rating the sizing based on 3 core arctic flex... as 4 core H07RN-F is a good bit thicker...

All prices including VAT: 25 metres 4 core 2.5 mm H07RN-F £61.20 Type 2 Cable Ends Male £32.51 Female £45.53 Shipping 6.72 Resistor 19p It's a bit hard to price the cost of solder and shrink insulation, tbh. This comes out to about £146.15. Including the the yellow PVC electrical tape...

Behold, I would like to share my new 24+ metre cable! Supplies: 25 metres 4-core 2.5 mm H07RN-F (I used Rapid Tables calculator for voltage drop) Resistor for Proximity Pin (Wikipedia lists correct values under J1772 page) 10 ton hydraulic crimper (turns out some of the pins for communications...
