Granny charger plug burn out

[WoNkY]

There are granny chargers available that have temperature sensors in the plug, these are far safer and will error and shutdown when excessive inlet (13 A) plug temperatures are observed.
In a quick search I found the Third Rock EV charger has this facility and is stated in both the features and specifications.
Looking at the cable between the plug and the electronics unit it will state something similar to: 3 X 2.5 + 2 X 1.5. 5 conductors in total. The 2.5 being the main conductors for L, N, E (2.5 mm sq) and the 2 X 1.5 the two sense wires for the embedded sensor in the plug.
The specifications for the unit I have included. There will be others too with this facility, I've shown the Third Rock unit as a guide.

That’s a great safety feature to have.

The one I bought to cover the period before my wall charger was installed has a smart plug fitted.
