Little information required pls

[jag john]

Hi and thanks for letting me join I pick up my new HS PHEV exclusive at the end of June and I wander if anyone could help with a little information first whereabouts is the charge plug situated on the uk spec vehicle and how long is the supplied lead and can I leave it plugged in on granny charge all night ie does it automatically turn off when fully charged thanks everyone

Charge plug drivers side rear, the included cable is 5m from the 3pin plug to the type 2 plug and the included cable/ EVSE is able to be used regularly all night providing that:

• a dedicated outdoor circuit is provided (i.e the socket has its own MCB in the consumer unit) or that it is connected to a ring main that is not going to be close to full load/overloaded with the addition of the car charger
• it is only extended with quality outdoor extensions such as sold by toughleads.co.uk (can personally recommend)
• It is connected to a Type A or B RCD.
• It ideally is connected to a circuit that contains a PME or a PEN device.

It will stop charging when fully charged.

Err the 3 pin to type 2 is about 3m long not 5m. I had to relocate my outdoor socket to charge the car

Thanks John,

So far very impressed. Also have a ZS EV. Charging earlier was only 1.5kw on my 7kw charger so trying to figure out why it wasn't 3.5kw as battery almost flat. Bound to be user error ?.

HS Phev can charge at a max of 3.7kW / 16A.
1.5kW seems wrong.. even the 3pin charger I used charges at 2.4kW
