To answer your original question, the answer is noI had to charge my ICE 12v car battery yesterday. This entailed the use of a long extension lead for my garage to the front of the house, about 20 metres.
Although I am still awaiting for a ZS delivery, I do already have the 7kw home charger installed in the front porch. Is there an adapter of Type 2 to a 13A UK socket that can be bought and to be used safely?
I don't use the car often, so the 12v battery needs topping up once in a while.
I assume this can be also used for the ZS?
There's a lot of comments above, but it's really quite straight forward. The 7kW wall socket you have is where the clever bits are,not the cable and the actual charger is in the car. The wall box and car communicate with each other through the "dumb" type 2 cable. Any sort of adaptor on the end of the type 2 cable would need to communicate with the wall box
Also, I'm pretty sure that the ZS Mk2 does top up it's 12V battery from the traction battery when switched off, I'm sure I remember threads in summer asking about this. The comments on here have me doubting that now!
