Charging an electric car: cables and safe charging

You arrive at a public charging station and have no cable. At home, you only have a normal socket, and the cables in the boot are a mess.

πŸ€” Why does this happen?

Many public stations require your own Type 2 cable. Normal household sockets are not designed for long high loads.

ℹ️ Good to know

For home charging, have an electrician check your socket and installation; normal sockets are not designed for long high loads.

βœ… Solved in 3 steps

  1. Get a Type 2 cable for public charging stations.
  2. Use a portable charger, a mobile wallbox, for home or holidays.
  3. Keep cables tidy in a cable bag.
