Maybe I could start a new thread.
As my included charger cable isn't packaged and loose in boot and thick and heavy.

I'm going to purchase a new charging cable early 2022.
Where can I find cable type info, is it type 2 to 2 or to 1.
I suspect I'm needing 7.2kw's to continue to use local chargers.

thanks

If you want a thinner one for just 7kW chargers you need type 2 to type 2. A three pin granny charger to type 2 can be useful, but it will only charge at 3kW maximum, so only for emergencies.

Thanks I've never known of false floor.

Meanwhile I re checked and looks as though I have been re charging at 3kw as charging point is 7kw stations.
Not sure where I can find 22kw 3 phase, as Ide pay extra for that type of cable If 2015 Zoey can charge faster?

thanks

The thick cable that came with the car will charge the car at 3, 7, 11 or 22kW. The rate will depend on what the charger is giving.

22kW AC chargers are a bit rarer, but they are about. Tescos are advertising both free 7 and 22kW chargers, so if you can nick a 22kW slot you will charge pretty quick.

If you bought a new thinner Type-2 cable, that will only be able to charge up to 7kW.

Appreciated, I know off one 22kw though it's in lidll which I don't use.
If I find a suitable 22kw I'll try with existing cable 1st or maybe I can find a case or holder.

thanks
