Hi all. Wow many thanks for the responses. Am going to pop a reply to them here.

Netexporter: absolutely an option but would have to purchase one for now. Also trying to calc time on charge for the battery size.

Most cars come with a granny charger (but best to check with the dealer) but they don't usually come with a Type 2 cable, so save your money for that!

Cheers again. I did look when someone mentioned you don’t usually get the cable you need. Grandland comes with a 7M type 2 as standard so would need the trickle version.

Or you could have a Tesla Model 3 Performance that will wipe the floor with the dinosaur Porsche and cost miles less to run even if you have to use Tesla superchargers.

Guess what I have!

Ha ha. You are right. I was looking around for a Model S either a P85D or P90 D with SC01 so free supercharging but prices are strong and budget was putting me to very high mileage older cars. Also it’s been mentioned a lot that using supercharger only degrades battery quicker.

I've seen it the other way around, never yet come across an EV that shipped without a type 2 cable, but granny chargers are getting less common. 

Always worth checking though...
