Hi all, taking delivery of my new gx4hs on the 25th Nov. Hoping someone who has experience with charging via an extension lead can help. I am debating between these two leads: Masterplug CT1510P or
Masterplug CT1513P. Both are a decent price on Amazon, but +£5 for the 13amp vs the 10amp version. Would people recommend going for the 13amp version or will the 10amp be okay?
I've also seen numerous posts about securely charging using an extension lead (i will be using a padlock on the trigger at least). Some people drive over theirs it seems (not sure i can be faffed with that) but i've also seen a post on here where the lead is connected to the EVSE in the boot! http://myoutlanderphev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1695
Don't either of these damage the cables? Does anyone else shut theirs in the boot while charging? What if the cables overheat while in the boot? The cables i am looking at are splashproof, so should be okay in the rain, especially if i put them on the wheel arch as i've seen someone suggest. interested as i guess shutting in the boot makes them extra tamper proof as long as the boot properly shuts!
