Hi, I am new to the forum and I am considering an Outlander PHEV. They are heavily discounted and subsidized here in Spain and they enjoy several advantages (such as free parking) from a legal standpoint.
There is only one spec in Spain and no options apart from colour; there are dealer options including a fast charging cable.
Now, the Mitsubishi branded fast charging cable costs some 500EUR. I thought it would have a "control box", same as the slow one. Then I did a web search and saw this.

It seems that you can buy an aftermarket cable for about half the price as the original one. Would this work with the Outlander PHEV if you don't specify the fast cable? Would this be a straight replacement for the original one? Or would I be missing something, either a control box / transformer type thing or some software / hardware in the car?
Many thanks for any guidance.
