2.3kw to 7.36kw adjustable single phase portable EVSEwhats the middle one with the black unit?
There is nothing you need to get in advance. It's just some of us have an unfortunate affliction that means we like getting car accessories.Hopefully picking mine up in a couple of weeks. Is there some kind of checkl8st for the stuff I should be getting in advance? I thought it came with the correct lead but I guess there's different lead options?
I don't mind picking up a few things in advance - all part of the fun. Is there anything that comes close to 'essential' aside from the granny charger that comes with the car. I'll be using public chargers as don't have off road parking.There is nothing you need to get in advance.

The car will probably come with a granny charger. The early ones came with a Type 2 but only because they hadn't got any granny chargers at that time.
I think it comes with a type 2 to type 2 single phase cable.There is nothing you need to get in advance. It's just some of us have an unfortunate affliction that means we like getting car accessories.

Ah yeah - I saw that mentioned on the other thread. I'll try and pick one of those up in advance. Thanks!I thin it comes with a type 2 to type 2 single phase cable.
In another thread about charging they had a type 2 to type 2 3 phase cable which got a better Kwh on 22 Kw chargers, so that cable type is something that would worth getting I think.
Note not relevant to the SR as it's doesn't have an 11kw onboard charger required for this.Ah yeah - I saw that mentioned on the other thread. I'll try and pick one of those up in advance. Thanks!
Thanks - I'm getting a Trophy so will definitely pick one of these up.Note not relevant to the SR as it's doesn't have an 11kw onboard charger required for this.
Too late, I already did.Whatever you do don't add up all the bits and bobs you buy in preparation for your new car. It'll be more than you think. I'm on about £300 and I haven't had the EV charger installed yet.
Here in Spain the car does not come with any cables at all according to the websites very small print.There is nothing you need to get in advance. It's just some of us have an unfortunate affliction that means we like getting car accessories.

If you have the SR it only charges on AC at a max of 7kw so a single phase 32a cable is fine.Ah yeah - I saw that mentioned on the other thread. I'll try and pick one of those up in advance. Thanks!
That photo cost you 326 euros? Who took it - David Bailey?Too late, I already did.That photo cost 326 euros and that's without the 25 ish meters of 10mm cable and differential etc to my consumer unit that I need to buy.
This helps a lot - thanks. There was a link to a 3 phase cable on another thread which i was going to but then noticed its kW rating was less than 11kw so wasn't sure if it was correct. I'll make sure it's a 22kw one.If you have the SR it only charges on AC at a max of 7kw so a single phase 32a cable is fine.
But if your model can charge at 11kw then get a 3 phase 32a 22kw cable. As that will charge at 11kw on 11kw or above 3 phase AC charging stations.
Don't get a 3 phase 16a 11kw cable, like I've seen advertised, thinking that's all you need, as on a single phase charging station it will only charge at 3.7kw.
Personally I would get a 3 phase 32a 22kw cable anyway whatever your model as the price if you look in the right places is much the same and you will be future proofed if you change cars.
