Which charging cable?

[Dino]

Hi Newbie question:
I’ve just bought my MG5 and am loving it. I have ordered a 7kWh home charger but I’m not sure what charging cable to buy.
For 99% of the time I will be charging at home, so a 32amp 7kWh cable is fine. But, there will be times when I will need to do a rapid charge if we go further further afield than normal.
I think most public chargers are tethered, but I know some aren’t.
Is it worth buying a 32amp 22kWh cable for those odd occasions or do people think it isn’t worth it?

All Rapid chargers should be tethered, very occasionally some AC are too - but the MG5 will only charge single phase AC so a 32A 7kW cable (similar specification to the MG one) is fine - no real point buying a 22kW as far as I know.

Shop around as well, plenty about a lot cheaper than the official MG one. Type 2 to type 2, 32amp is what you need.

You also need to consider the length incase a bay is ice'd so may like to go for a 7.5 m or even 10m. Type 2 32a
