Charging Cables

[siteguru]

Just placed an order for one.

Got to agree quite a lot of the Charge Place Scotland chargers are 22kw, definitely worth having a compatible cable.
My Megane will take the 22kw so it's a bit of a bonus having the charge place Scotland chargers, especially how reasonably priced they are

So they must be three phase chargers to get 22kW (32A x 230V x 3).

Yeah, there are still ones not that far from me that are free to use, most other charge place Scotland chargers are £1.60 to start charging the 15p per kw obviously not fast chargers but still good value

I’ve just had an email from an MG dealer confirming the MG4 comes with a 3 pin charger.…

You need to download the Tesla App (App Link GPlay Store) and login/create an account.

Once you have and are on the main page scroll down to the bottom and Click on Tesla Shop.

Within there Click on the Stay Charged image

And then the Type 2 cable is under On the Road section if you scroll to the right.

See images attached for Shop, Stay Charged and On the Road screenshots.

If you do it on the website supposedly it checks if you're an actual Tesla Owner but on the app it doesn't as you can have the app without being a Tesla owner due to them opening up the network for charging non Teslas.

Hope this helps.

Thank you. I will look to order the type 2 from here before my trophy arrives in april

@Leni16 A lot of new ChargePlace Scotland chargers installed near to me also deliver at up to 22kW, and given that the Megane E Tech can receive AC charge at up to 22kW means that I’m also sold on the new Megane over the MG4.

Intend to see how quickly Arnold C can source me a Techno model, either Ceramic Grey or Midnight Blue with contrast roof!

Ring around mate thats what I did, just prior to the first deliveries, from phoning to picking up was 5 weeks.

How's that been for you?

TBH i never used the cable.
I ordered a Vonhaus type 2 socket from amazon which works very well when I am on the go.
At home i have a tethered wallbox pulsar plus which you can set your time according to your cheaper tatiff ( if you have one )

But i assume 3pin cables take ages

Just looked on the Tesla app to show my friend the Tesla Type 2 charging cable and it's no longer listed.
Is it just me or have they removed it?

 

[siteguru]

You're right - I can't see it in there anymore either. Thankfully mine arrived last week.

Seems to have gone, wonder if it's stock or they have removed unless you are a confirmed owner.

Me too. I'm glad I got mine delivered just before Christmas.

Probably too many non-Tesla drivers ordering them.

I received mine on Thursday. Just waiting for the car to plug into it!

Yes, you are good, the Tesla type 2 lead is a good option, its both 3 phase and 32 amp the 2 key elements for LR owners. Get 11kw on 3 phase and 7kW on 1 phase. Not sure why you would buy anything else, unless you need longer than 4m, or were really worried about the weight or stiffness of a 3phase lead.
SR owners may choose something else if they are worrying about a few ounces of weight or the flexibility of the lead. At £85 the price is difficult to match.

Link please

Link please

It was via the Tesla app, this is not currently visible and seems to have been removed.

I have a test drive booked tomorrow, and I wanted to know in advance what cable is supplied with the car?

TIA

Just ordered my SE standard range. Only came with granny charger. Was offered official MG4 branded mat set for £35 so took these.

They look to be the same brand that Tesla supplied through the app.

Yes, if I hadn’t already bought a Tesla I’d buy one of these 5m cables.
I think they are from here (as is the Tesla)
EV charging cable mennekes are the original designer of the type 2 plug system.

FWIW, in the Tesla app the cable was defined as being 4m not 5m. (I've not physically measured mine).
