Type 1 Charging Cable

[Ruckman65]

My 2014 model has a Type 1 charging cable (5 pin) for use in a standard wall socket at home. I am looking to purchase a cable that has 5 pin on one end and 7 pin on the other so that I can use public charging stations. Would that be the best (or only) solution?

I'm in the US we don't have the cordless/socketed public charging so this isn't from direct experience, but what I found is you'd use a type 2 to type 1 cable like this style - https://store.jetcharge.com.au/products/type-2-to-type-1-lead?variant=18459079311419

Thank you for the advice, MiPHEV.

Thank you for the advice, MiPHEV.

MiPHEV is correct. We ue this cable in Europe. Be careful it's a Type 2 to Type 1 that's required. a Type 1 to Type 2 won't work. - I may be stating the obvious but I've seen confusion on this in other groups.

Thanks kernelpanic. I almost bought the Type 1 to Type 2 before realizing that there is a difference between that and a Type 2 to Type 1!
