Hi,
I will be using the standard charge lead to charge from home as can do this overnight and also charge from work. I don't have off road parking you see so can't go for a charging station. I was planning to have the lead set up in a fixed way through a small hole in the wall of the house to the car just outside. But ... I'd need a spare 3pin cable to then have when away from home, using fast charge on motorways for those rare longer journeys. ... Anyway, that's the background, my question is i cannot find a spare 3pin cable for much less than 400£ ... It's sending me a bit potty. I wonder if I'm missing something, why are they so expensive, are there cheaper options? For example, could I just but the plug (about50£) and ask an electrician to fit a cable? Any thoughts very welcome please. Car on order ... Hope it will come within a month and trying to plan ahead. TA.
