Longer tethered charger cable

[hantsxlg]

HI All
With my nmw 530e nearing the end of its 4 year life with me I have just upsized and ordered a q7 55 tfsie phev as a replacement.

Now the q7 has the charge port at the rear of the car and not the front like the bmw. So I need a longer tethered type 2 cable on my non-smart 32a home charger.

I can find replacement longer cables online. Is it usually a simple job to swop out on the charger? Or any gotcha I should be aware of?

Swoll.. yes could reverse in, but would be a pain as a hedge borders our drive which I can park the left side right up to if I drive in forwards. As I'd have to leave room to open the door and get out if I reversed in it would leave less room (being a powerfully built director type) on the drive for our other cars.

So no experience of someone replacing the tether? Should be a fairly easy job so think I will open up the charger to check and then proceed to order the cable.

No rush as 6 months lead time on the q7...

Thanks for the help guys. I'm fairly competent with a screwdriver and the charger is approaching 4 years old so out of any warranty.

The comments on reversing were not particularly helpful in the context of the thread, but as they led to a pedantry matters grammar comment I'm quite happy!
