MG ZS EV home charger and cable

[cryptofu]

Just ordered the long range ZS EV, it doesn't come with a type 2 charger or a home installation. Any recommendations? I have power line adapters, any home chargers that won't be affected by them?

I found it interesting with my current order of the MG ZS luxury that it is delivered without a cable. everything ordered extra. on good terms

I have homeplugs/power line adapters and my Rolec hasn't been affected by them.Never had any issues charging the car at home.

I have an OHME unit no issues with it but some people have issues if you are on a bad signal area.

My TP-Link power line adaptors don't affect my Pod Point.
I did read something interesting on Facebook about having surge protectors on the same ring main may smooth out interference/noise on the mains and lo and behold I have a surge protected 4 gang extension in the other socket on each of the twin sockets both my adaptors are plugged into, coincidence maybe ?

Why don't MG supply a type 2 cable? I got one with my Pug. Bought a granny til my Wallbox Pulsar Plus was fitted.

Wallbox is a great little smart charger, very happy with it.

MG do supply a 'granny' which probably cost more than a type 2 cable unless you get a 10m one?

I don't think many supply the cable anymore do they ?

I got 3 years free servicing, a type 2 cable and a free home wall charger with my ZS in July 2020 as part of the "peace of mind" deal they were running at the time.

I think we need to buy a longer cable for charging at home and a shorter one for out and about. But I'm still confused about which types. Type 2 to type 2? For both? Or the different, quicker one, that I can't think of the name of right now, for when out and about?
Planning to charge most days at work but the machines have only just been installed, but they don't have wires so I will definitely need one for charging at work.

type 2 32 amp. I have a 5 meter one and a 10 meter one.

Rapid chargers don't need a cable as they are tethered.
Fast chargers at supermarket etc do need a type 2 to type 2 10m would be handy if the spot is ice'd ?

Actually the grant had just dropped to £3000, but I got a £2500 MG deposit contribution thrown in for taking a PCP and paid off the PCP after 10 days.

Type 2 to Type 2 32A (22kW) 3 Phase Mode 3 EV/Electric Vehicle Charging Cable | 5 Metre Amazon product ASIN B01MTAWTDY
This will support up to 22kw AC so a little bit of future proofing for any future EVs.
If you want to save a few quid they also do a 7kw cable;
Type 2 to Type 2 32A (7.2kW) Mode 3 EV/Electric Vehicle Charging Cable | 5 Metre Amazon product ASIN B01N9CHY6H

There's also 10m versions of them. If you scroll down to the bottom of the Amazon page they're listed there.

Look around for best deal, just google 'type 2 cable' as prices change all the time with offers etc.

first one I looked at EV Public Charging Cable | Type 2 to Type 2 | 16/32 Amp | 3.6/7.2 kW | 5/10 Metre |

use the drop downs to select 32amp(7.2kW) and choose your length currently £114 for 5 metres.
