Charging cables - all the same?

[number2]

Hi all

Car arrives at the end of April. I had an untethered (single phase) Zappi installed a couple of months ago, so now just need a cable.

Looking at 8 or 9 meters in length, hence going untethered.

Apart from being type 2, is there anything I need to look out for, or is it just length and a price I'm happy with?!

Thanks!

Single phase 7.2 Kw.

Sounds like they're all essentially the same then for our Zappi, within the basic electrical capacity and type 2 spec.

Do you use your own cable for public charging? I thought public chargers were tethered.

Silly question perhaps, but I've not paid any attention to public chargers!

Brill, thanks .

Sorry if dumb comment but does the car come a cable, my came with both a granny charger and cable which will go up to 22kw.

Not dumb. Q8 etron. I *believe* it does come with a cable - 3 pin and a type 2. The latter would be too short for our home charge point I imagine although I will check...

Yup, it comes with a 4.5m type 2 cable.

If my partner always reversed onto the drive, I could have got a tethered Zappi! .
