Poll on owning & using a Type 2 "fast" charge cable

[HarryTheGreyhound]

Wow, less than c400 miles since January, that is low mileage.

Yeah, I probably should have added away from home. I'm obviously having a special one today.

Got a freebie from the dealer but bought one anyway as a backup.

Call me paranoid, but spending £120 to have a spare versus the aggro if I got stranded seemed sensible.

Also, whilst Ive got a tethered charger at home I need a Type 2 for the works chargers

I have two type 2 cables one in the frunk and one in the boot.
I also have two 'grannies' and two 7kW home EVSE'S (only because I changed my Ohme for a Zappi to get the most from my solar panels)

I have a tethered Zappi at home which I use with solar PV, but when out shopping I never turn my nose up at a free charge at a supermarket, if it’s available, why the hell would I, so yes I have a type 2-T2 cable for that plus I travel away from home a bit and lots of hotels and attractions you might visit have or are installing charge points some are free some are not, but on everyone I have come across so far you need your own charging cable, so I always carry mine everywhere I go i even carry a 10 meter 13amp extension lead in case I have to use the granny, which I also carry everywhere.

Along with a 10 mm, and an adjustable spanner, a double ended screwdriver a spacer saver spare wheel (MG), a jack and telescopic wheel brace just like
( lovemyev above ) I think me and him are old school.

No if you have an EV then get everything you can too charge it, which ever way you can plus give yourself a chance to fix it where ever you might be if something goes wrong that’s what I say.

Double Dutch to me.

That's what I call "Covering you arse" @Jomarkh - I like your style !.

I have an untethered charge point at home (a SynvEV) and my work has untethered Rolex chargers. So I have a 7.5m cable to cover all bases

Top of the range, great for timed charges are those Rolex.

I have a type 2 cable but then I have an untethered 7kW home charger, and I wanted to make the best possible use of my 4hr 7.5p/kWh window. I haven't used it anywhere apart from home since the end of July.
