I'm sure this has been covered many many times but struggling to find the answer to my exact question...
I've just got my wife a 2018 PHEV Outlander, installed a 7kw Pod Point charger on the wall, but need a type 1/type 2 cable to charge when out and about having just received by CYC card.
I went with the 7kw charger at home to futureproof myself a little and wondering whether to use the same rational for the new cable.
Am I right in thinking a 16a type 1/type 2 is perfectly adequate for the Outlander? If so, would a 32a cable also be perfectly fine too? My thinking is, whilst dipping my hand in my pocket, what not futureproof myself for the relatively small additional outlay for a 32a cable, it will hopefully last into the next car(s).
Maybe things are moving along too quickly to keep up i.e. will type 1 be largely redundant by the time we replace the car in 2 years time and therefore a 16a cable is totally fine?
Thinking of a coiled cable - any comments on these from experience?
Thanks in advance (and apologies if these topics have been covered before)
