Just a word of caution to pass on.

Yesterday my Wife was setting up to charge the ZSEV at a local PodPoint Charger in the local Lidl Car Park. As she stood in front of the Charger and went to remove the CCS plug, the centre big Blue CHAdeMO Plug fell off its holder and struck the top of her foot.

On closer examination the CHAdeMO cradle has a portion of the holder snapped off, hence it dropped off as soon as the CCS cable moved against the CHAdeMO cable.

Today she has a bruise to her right foot and significant discomfort.

Please be wary of the potential for injury in day to day activities like this.

Ouch. Hope its a quick recovery. 👍

Had it a few times where the plugs have fallen back out of the charger after using them, usually on the CPS units, but I've never had a different one come loose.
