I think it's my browser, links to shops do not show but the item id is b07p786l2f I think the lower case is important.

Sounds better, the price of the one I linked has gone back up so it's quite a bit more expensive now.

Any Type 2 lead that's 32amp, length to suit you, will do. Just google it find the cheapest you can.

I'm not much of a user of public chargers, but I'm not sure motorway services are more expensive than elsewhere - it seems to depend more on the provider than the location.

Also you probably got a rapid charge there, whereas your new cable will be much much slower. Your £10 of rapid at 64p was roughly 15kWh (I guess maybe 20 minutes or so) whereas a Type 2 cable will at best take somewhere around 2 hours for the same.

So it might be worth considering just sucking up the additional cost for the few occasions you might need it rather than forking out £100 up front.

The 64p is probably still works out somewhere around what an ICE car would cost you per mile after all.

All my figures are very rough so I'm happy for them to be corrected if I'm far out...

I paid about 70 quid on eBay works fine.

I got one from eBay for £74.99 free P&P and it does the job great. 5m and comes in padded bag. No different from dearer ones or the one the dealer tried to sell me for at least twice the price.
